Personally I wouldn't trust the ESR to test for alcohol in a brewery.

Care to explain why?

Care to explain why?

Used to work in the pharmaceutical industry. Health department have regular sampling/testing programs whereby all sorts of stuff is tested by the ESR. The results then get sent to the company involved with a "please comment". Far far too often the ESR results were just dodgy, or dead wrong. When they didn't agree with our internal results, we'd redo ours, then have an independant third party lab do the tests. If they agreed with us we'd dispute the ESR results. The HD would then have yet another third party lab redo it (often in Australia). Nine out of ten times,at least, we were right ESR was wrong. Just happened far too often.

DNA evidence exonerated him, it didn't convict him. I would think that Mr Dougherty has every reason to feel extremely grateful to the ESR and to the general development of DNA forensic science.

IIRC it wasn't the ESR that exonerated him. They held to their original opinion till the end. It was independant testing that showed they were wrong.

One night farmer Brown,
Was takin' the airs,
Locked up the barnyard
With the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse
Somethin' stirred
When he shouted "Who's there?"
This is what he heard:

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself,
And stop your fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep,
And you butt in
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble
With your chin

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around
And shakin' the ground,
You're kickin' up an awful dust
We chicken's tryin' to sleep
And you butt in
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble
It's a sin

Tomorrow
Is a busy day
We got things to do
We got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig
And worms to scratch
It takes a lot of settin'
Gettin' chicks to hatch

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself,
And stop your fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun,
The other way
And hobble, hobble hobble off and
Hit the hay

Tomorrow
Is a busy day
We got things to do
We got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig
And worms to scratch
It takes a lot of settin'
Gettin' chicks to hatch

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself,
And stop your fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun,
The other way
And hobble, hobble hobble off and
Hit the hay

"Hey boss man
What do ya say?"

It's easy pickens,
Ain't nobody here but us chickens

Oh come on Spud, it was shonky DNA interpretation that sank the poor sod in the first place.
It was then only independant analysis that showed up the piss poor work done by the ESR 'scientist'.
He served three years in jail because she identified too closely with the prosecution on the case.
