...scathing federal report on problems in the FBI crime lab. The defense had hoped to use the report to cast extensive doubt on the physical evidence that the FBI lab examined, and disqualify the prosecution's FBI expert testimony.

Several of the shards of the truck found near the explosion site are instrumental to the prosecution's case because...
