Donald Trump’s persistent failures are not new. His history is littered with bankruptcies and failed ventures, yet he continues to rise to positions of power.… Continue reading

A Vestre Landsret ruling overturned a drug conviction due to flawed forensic analysis. The court rejected evidence from gas chromatography, a method converting the legal THC-A into the illegal THC, rendering THC content measurements unreliable.

The Landsforeningen af Forsvarsadvokater supports this review, stating that convictions based on flawed evidence are unacceptable.
