Morgan's robbery convictions have been overturned at a time when increasing concerns are raised about ''junk science'' appearing before the courts: unreliable expert evidence leading to contaminated criminal trials. At its worst, such evidence could result in innocent people being sent to jail. At the very least, such evidence could tilt trials unfairly."
