    the director of the Alabama Department of Forensice Sciences, Angelo Della Manna, said he hadn’t reviewed Dotson’s particular case file and couldn’t answer any questions about Dotson specifically.

    Which automatically makes me incredibly suspicious of the Alabama Department of Forensic Services. You’re in a court of law, testifying about what your department did, and you can’t even be bothered to look at the file? Yeah, sure.

      I mean, that’s a hilarious defense.

      “Hey boss they need you in court tomorrow about this specific Dotson case.”

      " Don’t say another word about it, I don’t know shit and I’ll tell em myself."

        You’ll see it with politicians all the time:

        Reporter: Do you have any comment on [some scandal within your party]?

        Politician: No, I haven’t had time to [read the charge sheet | watch the video | whatever else].

        Like the politician doesn’t have a staff member whose entire job is tracking that stuff and giving the politician summaries of whatever’s going on.
