That is, <Speech_Male> that is the goal. <Speech_Male> And my goal <Speech_Male> is to make sure that <Speech_Male> we have at least <Speech_Male> a small contingent <Speech_Male> of minors <Speech_Male> to just prove <Speech_Male> the claims that <Speech_Male> are being made, but <Speech_Male> I'm sure by then <Speech_Male> we'll have all kinds of examples <Speech_Male> of <Speech_Male> this in operation, <Speech_Male> so I'll have lots of <Speech_Male> inspiration to <Speech_Male> draw upon. <Speech_Male> Yeah, keep us in the loop <Speech_Male> and keep us updated about <Speech_Male> what's going on with that. <Speech_Male> We're <Speech_Male> very interested. Yeah. <Speech_Male> Sell us some hash <Speech_Male> rate under the table, too. <Speech_Male> Once you get it running. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> We would take a <Speech_Male> small nuclear <Speech_Male> reactor and, you know, <Speech_Male> power our houses <Speech_Male> with it too if you can guess one of <Speech_Male> those.

No <Speech_Male> big deal, right, chipping that <Speech_Male> over country <Speech_Male> line. <Speech_Male> Well, <Speech_Male> the <Speech_Male> one that we're <Speech_Male> building is an <Speech_Male> American design, I <Speech_Male> think. I think they're <Speech_Male> actually building one of the University <Speech_Male> of Illinois. I think <Speech_Male> that's where one of the demonstrations <Speech_Male> is going to be built. <Speech_Male> It'll probably <Speech_Male> be a year or two <Speech_Male> after the one that we get, <Speech_Male> but <Speech_Male> they're <Speech_Male> sparking up <Speech_Male> the same tree as us. <Speech_Male> There's going to be a lot of <Speech_Male> these things popping up all over <Speech_Male> the place.

"Up and I'm just like well at least you're here I'm just this is an interesting situation that I'm not into every day and then look over to my right like the rest of the waiting room is all families so but I'm sitting inside this definite gang member like what a shit show that they suture you up nice and tight, there's no squares. No, it was perfect and even when I came back to Canada they were like, oh, they did amazing job with that. That was great. And we were in and out and under an hour. Like they brought us in, the sutured up the head, they took a quick x-ray to make sure that they didn't do anything bad to the skull. Gave me some antibiotics and sent us on our way in under an hour. If that had been in I hate on my own country, but if that was in Canada, that would have been minimum three, four hour wait before you're even seen and then who knows how long the rest of the process would have taken, and then you would have had to go to an external pharmacy, they probably wouldn't have been open to go get the medication and it would have been an interesting difference between the two systems. So I don't know if I was getting special treatment because you're just a tourist gringo in the coming into the El Salvador and hospital and they're just like get this guy through as quick as possible. Who's a hell of an adventure and then we get back to our hotel because we weren't even staying in San Salvador. We were down near the coast and el tunco. So we had still had like a half hour drive to get home, winding roads, down like basically down the side of a frigging volcano because I'm used to Ontario, all of our major roads here are just just straight lines just trees and rock cuts. Just we don't go around the landscape, we just go right through it. Yeah, to El Salvador was meandering around all of the curves, so it's it was a, it was a wild ride coming back home with a head injury, still a little delirious for losing a lot of blood and why it's just like, why do you think this is funny? Because we get to tell everybody I went to a hospital at El Salvador. And she's still keeps bragging always. It's like stop laughing about it. They got you in an Al because they knew you were a Bitcoin, or it was like, that's how they work and down there, they go DNA Bitcoin.

"So demand risk is essentially when your intending to build a power asset somewhere. And you have an uncertainty that you're going to have sufficient customers to take up that load. A they're actually there's a good story that tells us about community that was going to build a hospital. So preemptively before they built the hospital, they upgraded their energy infrastructure and added, I think it was like 20 megawatts or something to a transmission station. And then the financing on the hospital fell through and it never got built, but then the community was still on the hook for the power infrastructure upgrades. So I guess Harry came in there with grid, filled that space and now the community is paying much lower power rates and it enabled them to have just this upgraded system that's more reliable. And use that guaranteed customer to make sure that they're still getting profits off of that excess capacity. Then yeah, so then demand response to feature an ancillary service that power grids use where they can pay a customer that's using electricity to turn off when that electricity is needed by a higher priority customer, like typically for the Bitcoin, another Bitcoin examples, we saw in December, during the storm in Texas, the Bitcoin miners shut down as much as 1.5 gigawatts of capacity to free up to allow the grid to just distribute it to however it needed. So it's just the ability to kind of go up or down so that you could absorb surplus or you can go down to when your local demand exceeds what your typical base load would be. And the reason that Bitcoin miners are the best at that is just they have a few really good properties. They're completely location agnostic. You can build them anywhere from a few kilowatts to gigawatts as we've been seeing. They can easily be modulated up and down to follow loads on the demand side rather than trying to follow loads on the generation side, which saves a lot of wear and tear on your generators. You don't have any feedstock or physical product, so there's no storage or transportation, so like that. It just makes it easier to play like you're condensing this energy into a product that you can then sell into a market 24/7 instantly as soon as you've obtained it. It's like the perfect arbitrage for cheap energy where it is available to be a then be able to use it anywhere on the world like immediately. Typically they'll do that with like aluminum or steel mills and like remote locations that have lots of hydro or geothermal. But then you've got storage. You've got transport. You've got security and there's all those extra superfluous costs that go around it, whereas Bitcoin's just an entry on a digital ledger. If you've got if you got the keys, you go in.

"Buy Bitcoin and vice versa. So these are on demand users of energy and they can be turned off and on instantly. Is that how you see this maybe bootstrapping itself to reality in the next ten to 20 years? Yeah, absolutely. It gives them the optionality to choose to completely independent markets to sell their electricity to. I expect you guys are familiar with Brandon quid the pioneer species idea. It's essentially that we can drop a power plant, wherever we want, and we have the built in customer to take up that capacity and reduce the demand risk in the early years as more sophisticated energy users will enter that ecosystem and then eventually they would crowd out the miners and then because of how easily the miners can travel across the world as we saw when they all got booted out of China as soon as they're not wanted somewhere they go find a nicer home and they will and it'll play out like was it Nick Carter's idea with the topographical map where they'll just, it'll just settle into all the cracks and just find all those little wasted energy sources, whether they're stranded geographically, whether they're stranded temporally, like it's just going to find all of those little inefficiencies in the energy system and I expect most power generators will definitely have a nonzero amount of mining somewhere on their books. Whether they're partnered with an existing minor that knows what they're doing or they take the plunge and do it for themselves or they just build the infrastructure and do hosting or whatever any number of ways they can do it. And then from there, you could also, yeah, you could have it anywhere from zero to a 100%, like you could have these crazy pioneer Bitcoin miners that are just like, we're just buying a new cleaner reactor. We bought some land. We're going to set it up. We're just going to put miners on it, and we're just going to build our Citadel around this and I would not be surprised if there's some someone out there like some dude like frigging chat over it or kitty and Powell. These cowboys are out there biting in oil fields. They would love to just get a power source so they can just drop wherever they want and just build around it. It would be awesome. Like the guys at riot, they've proven that we can build these massive mining data centers. That operation that they've got going on is quite impressive and then they're also pretty slick with their promotional videos. It's just watching one before we went live, so very, very impressed with their operations that they've, they seem to be doing quite well through this bear market as opposed to some others that got a little over their skis. But it's just there's so many different business models that can be tried out. Anywhere from zero to a hundred, play around with it, so you

"You don't want to have a lingering question mark as to whether or not the lights are going to come out. I'm like, would you rather have like dirt cheap electricity that sometimes you might even get paid for, but sometimes it's just not going to be there, or pay a moderate cost for your energy, but no, that 100% of the time it's going to be available for you. And if it does go out, there's an army of technicians out there making sure that it comes back on as fast as possible. So it's nuclear, the top of the stack for reliability, and top of the stack for emissions, because building a nuclear reactor is primarily primarily steel and concrete, and then your fuel, whereas the other types have a lot of different material requirements that I'm sure many, many are aware of that it goes beyond the material capacity for what our planet could give us if we intended to go a 100% renewables and batteries. There's a lot of material that those require that to, I don't know if we have enough, but we've got a lot of steel and concrete. That's exactly where I was going with the next question I was going to ask you, which is basically in contrast to the amount of environmental impact you get from nuclear. You have to obviously dig up uranium, plutonium, two 34, three 38, whichever it is. But so I'm on Twitter the other day and just randomly run across this gentleman's tweet, his name is John Lee patty Moore and he had this entire tweet storm about the environmental impacts. Of green energy. And there's a couple of highlights I took out of this that I wanted to mention while we're talking about this because green energy at the final points when you have a battery in a car or you have a battery on your wall in your house, it seems very green, you're not seeing any emissions from that, obviously, but to mine this stuff to mine some of these rare Earths.

"Of fuel will automatically dissipate the heat into the environment and then they'll cool down on their own. We've got waste taking care of for the most part. We know how to do it. It's a technically solved issue, but it's just a matter of building the facilities that we need to I think Finland's going ahead with one. It's basically the plan is to build well managed long-term retrievable storage sites so that we can bury them somewhere that's going to be safe for centuries, millennia, but we'll also have the ability to retrieve this stuff if it is needed in the future because a lot of nuclear fuel these days only uses a small fragment of the available energy in the in the uranium fuel rods. So there is a likelihood that future technology and maybe not so distant future. Technology will be available to extract more of the available energy out of those fuel rods and prolong our ability to generate nuclear power well into the future. There's already some reactors that can reprocess the spent byproducts that come out of the traditional reactors. I think the French and the Russians have have reactors that have those capabilities that can use the plutonium and the transuranics that are basically all the other elements that are down around uranium in the periodic table. They can burn those out in the friction process. And then what that does is it decays them faster so that ultimately when you get as much of the extractable energy out of them, a lot of the most harmful nuclei have been expired and there is less of a harmful footprint of the final fuel product, just to store in the end. Most of it will just be reduced down to inner salts. So that waste is just much, much cleaner on reactors that exist today and are going to probably exist more in the future.

"We have a completely independent market from whatever is going on in your local area. I think it's going to be a game changer. It's going to be a lot of game theory and testing out ideas, but it's going to change power markets as we know them. This is the blue collar Bitcoin podcast. A show where average Joe firefighters explore the most important monetary technology of the 21st century. We talk Bitcoin. We talk finance and we talk shit. What is up folks and welcome back into this week's installment of blue collar Bitcoin. Josh and myself Dan were delighted to be joined this week by a humble and insanely intelligent gentleman from the great white north, mister Ryan McLeod. On Twitter, you may know him as nuclear Bitcoin. Ryan is a laboratory technologist at Canadian nuclear laboratories. He works in the nuclear lab by day and ducks S 9 Bitcoin miners into his drier at home by night. A true hard nosed blue blooded pleb. In the first half of this discussion, we explore many fascinating facets regarding nuclear energy and its implications. Then in the second half, we dive into how Bitcoin may step in as a catalyst for nuclear energy in the decades moving forward. Ryan spearheaded a team that put together a paper regarding Bitcoin mining with small modular nuclear reactors, something that got enough attention to where they recently presented this paper at an international nuclear conference in Japan. The paper is linked down in the show notes on our website if you'd like to take a peek at this thesis. The longer Josh and I are in this space, the more our minds are blown and stretched by the number of diverse areas, this seemingly simple protocol touches. In particular, the implications of Bitcoin on energy production seem to be escalating rather quickly. A reminder, ladies and gents that if you haven't gotten them yet, get your Bitcoin 2023 tickets. Josh and I will both be in Miami Beach for the conference may 18th to the 20th, 2023, we can attest this event is next level.

"Okay, I hope you enjoyed that. Thank you for listening to what Bitcoin did. Thank you for putting up with all my football chat. I hope it's not turning too many of you off. But if you are interested, we are creating this little kind of Bitcoin bars around football. It's slowly slowly. I am introducing people to it. We've had our first meet up. We're going to have another one in October. I am gradually working on orange pilling people. One of the cool things we're going to be doing soon. If you're going to check out our rail Bedford feed, you'll see that when someone scores a goal, we put up this little social media card with their photo. What I've got a session soon with the players. I'm going to be teaching them a little bit about Bitcoin. We're going to be setting them up with their wallets. And we're going to be putting QR codes on those social media cards. So like if someone scores a go and you want to tip them a few sets, who else to do that, which is pretty cool. So gradually slowly slowly, I am orange peeling Bedford and I'm Bedford pilling some bitcoiners, which is pretty cool. Now I hope you enjoyed this show with Ryan, the cross section of Bitcoin and nucleus fascinating. This is just a start for me. It's definitely something I'm going to be focusing a bit more on Danny has been talking to a couple of people we're going to be trying to get on the show to talk a bit more about nuclear. So keep an eye out for that. I hope you're all well. I hope you are having a good week. If you have any questions, drop me an email. I will try and get back to you. You can get me on hello and what Bitcoin did. Dot com. All right, I will see you later in the week.

"And are there enough people out there who are available to be able to work to construct these to work at these? Well, that is another thing that has to be worked on to train people up. Yeah, in many jurisdictions, that is the case. That's why it is being so costly to build the hinkley reactor in the Vogel reactor in Georgia for the UK and the U.S. markets because they let their supply chain atrophy by not building or refurbishing any of the reactors for decades, whereas in Canada, we are actively refurbishing our reactors right now, the Darlington has undergone refurbishment, the point la pro reactors on Ugandan refurbishment, Bruce reactors, currently under refurbishment. So this will extend the life of those reactors for at least another four decades. What's involved in refurbishing it is essentially used in the site to put in new technology. Yeah, a lot of the parts in these reactors are interchangeable. They can just be replaced with new parts and the pressure tubes just get replaced with fresh draconian pressure tubes and they replace the turbines if they need to. Just anything that's starting to show its age just gets replaced. But the core of the reactor pretty much remains unchanged. And how much time goes into refurbishing a reactor as opposed to building one from scratch. Hi tree actor probably takes like two to three years to reverb. Yeah, okay. And that has the advantage of sustaining our supply chain in our workforce and making sure that the industry is remains robust and doesn't lose our expertise. So why has there been so much of a slowdown in the development of nuclear reactors and the essentially the decommissioning of reactors? We know Germany has been doing it. We know, I think there's one in California, but we haven't less nuclear power now, right? Then we did two, three decades ago, is that correct? I believe so, but especially in the west, but then countries like the UAE, they went all out, they're building several I think like four or 5 gigawatts worth of nuclear. I think they just fired up the first one and there's three more set to go over the next three years. And they're working with the South Korean design. Right. How much power do you use? Because I'm wondering if four is enough to provide them all, the energy they need. Well, I think these are 708 hundred megawatt units. And they build them in each reactor facility. We'll have like four units in one housing facility. This is from 2013. It says the electricity demand in the UAE has reached 105 billion kWh. Those numbers mean nothing to me. It's hard to make sense of these numbers unless you're deeply entrenched in energy. They intend to overbuild their capacity, use it for desalination operations, water treatment, chemical processes, hydrogen production. There's all kinds of high intense energy applications that nuclear is going to apply to, including Bitcoin mining. Okay, so sorry, so these sites are used more for more than just the production of energy.

"Just applied for a chemical position. How big is the site? How many people work there? About 3000? And that's not at every reactor, or is there a reactor there? There is a reactor, but it is shut down. It was retired in 2018. That was the research reactor that was built in 1947. So there's a few other smaller research reactors on the site that are used for various projects, but future intent is to build one of the demonstration small modular reactors on our site, so to get that to get that ball rolling. We need to demonstrate the small modular reactors before they can go into wide commercial deployment. Right. Okay, I'm going to keep an eye on that because I want to come back to the small modular reactors. And also just tell me your Bitcoin story. Well, where did this all converge? I had been aware of Bitcoin since fairly early on. I had watched various documentaries like case, so learning about how money works and fractional reserve banking and you go down all those rabbit holes and then some of the content that I was interested in occasionally max geyser would come up when he was evangelizing way in the early days. And then just life moved on, I got caught up more with culture war type of events and like Gamergate and then all the craziness with Trump in America. It was just fascinating times to pay attention to, but then yeah, I wasn't really paying much attention to Bitcoin. And I think it was about four or 5 years ago. I had a little bit of money that I cashed out of an online poker site. And I, they had Bitcoin as an option. So I just cashed it out into a wallet and forgot about it. And then when the price ran up last January, I started to take more of an interest when a few $100 was now worth a few $1000. And I jumped right back in and max was my first touchpoint. So I went straight into the orange peel podcast right off the deep end and then was listening to him talking about guys like Michael saylor and then that led me to breed love's podcast and safety and podcast. And then it was when I had listened to two podcasts and quick succession with Steve barber and Adam O where they were talking about what they were doing with the flared gas. And then that developed a really strong interest to me and how it the Bitcoin mining relates to energy infrastructure. And then it was in March or so when the price dumped because some, well, an eccentric billionaire that we don't need to even name was ranting about Bitcoin's energy use. And then the price dumped, and then she just randomly throughout this idea. I was like, well, we're going to build SMRs. Why don't we mind Bitcoin with SMRs? That sounds like a great idea. And then she just went about what she was doing and thought nothing of it.

So chatting about this stuff, hopefully if you maybe didn't realize that you struggle with some of those things because they've been normative in fitness culture. Or if you know somebody who is struggling, we go through some really awesome tips on how to kind of work through that stuff. And our guest today, Lauren MacLeod is a super rad she specializes in this and does heaps of presentations and her focus is eating disorders, treatment and how it's relative to the outdoor industry. She's also taking on one on one clients right now. So if you resonate with something in this episode today and you want to maybe seek out a consultation session or learn more about her services, you can check her out at WWW dot, Lauren mccloud, RD dot com. And we will link that along with her Instagram in the bio. She also gave some awesome examples of accounts that you can follow that are diverse specialists in this area, or they have their own experiences with eating disorders and I think our idea of eating disorders is not always inclusive and we really try to impact that a lot today. Also, you know, we look at how the DSM-V, which is the diagnostic manual to diagnose a lot of these disorders is quantitative and not qualitative. So you might not meet the criteria to be diagnosed with a disorder, but there are still a lot of qualified experiences that you might be able to get help with because you don't realize it's a problem. So yeah, we think that we've just scratched the surface on this topic, and we want to dive into it more with Lauren. So like I said, jump in our DMs. Give us some feedback on things you want to learn more about. And we'll hit you with the fact heavy exclusive episode in the new year. But that's all I gotta say. This is a new episode of big stick energy coming at you live in three, two, one. So we have Lauren on today..

A 20-Year Megadrought Threatens Hydropower in the West
"A twenty year. Mega drought in the west is threatening hydropower. For millions of people so the federal government is taking emergency action it sending water from other reservoirs to lake powell to help. Keep the power turbines. They're spinning. here's michael. Elizabeth sack is from colorado public radio at elk creek marina. People wait in line to back their trailers into the water to pull their boats out. And some like walter. Slut cough are frustrated. Resumes legua up and down many times. But we're not happy with it this year. Of course because we're all getting kicked out early and we pay for slips for the season. Blue mesa is colorado's largest reservoir. It's already less than thirty percent full. And now it's being forced to sacrifice more water to send to lake powell eric. Logan is head of operations at elk. Creek marina he had to shut down six weeks early because of the low water levels. It's a big hit for us for sure. There's a bunch of employees. That doctor would be employed into october and suddenly they're out looking for employment in middle of august. The deepening drought in the west has dealt a double blow to blue mesa this summer with climate change there's less snowpack and warmer temperatures increase. Evaporation so less water is making it into the colorado river and reservoirs like blue mesa and now the federal government is taking water from this lake into other reservoirs. If we were full it wouldn't be that big deal but since we're already so low and we're barely hanging on by our fingertips on trying to stay open. You take eight feet of water and suddenly we got shut the doors and move everything out to deeper water and there's nothing we can do about it. Lake powell on the utah. Arizona border hit its lowest level on record earlier this summer. Logan worries the reservoir will need even more water from blue mesa. If the drought doesn't improve the question is are they going to release whatever we get. That would become a very big problem for everyone around here. Blue may sat and the other reservoirs were built in the nineteen sixties for times of drought. It's a bank of water that the states can tap when they need. It says john macleod. A water lawyer in colorado. The water always goes to lake. Powell and this release is part of the plan. And it's using the reservoirs for one of their intended purposes

'cause acquisition costs one those metrics every single company that has a customer base follows musician growth of customer base and when things dropping off boarding. That's a bad thing. It's it's painted as a bad thing in every single consumer and they deal with it so bad so awfully when you do of a good example is the gym industry.

"We have no vocabulary for endings. We have so much rich emotional vocabulary for beginning nothing for endings and that was the start of the question around closure experiences so anybody row forward a few years and it's always been in the background this whole closure experiences thing i did. I wrote a document for a big company about the time was well received but didn't really dig into the essence in the background and history so much so surface thing and then i was asked to for many years and it just keeps coming up a repeat repeats of examples all like lack of endings samples about something. We're talking about clothes your experience now with in a in a digital. Yeah so it was a couple of examples so the amount of times we get pushed to share for example. If i'm getting three million face at my phone the camera mode take a picture cher and then not get into gallery in share of into gallery nominee gallery browsing share and then in our social media when we look at the news the amount of share but un's indifferent share platform. So you might have a new thing. You might have ten for example opportunities of different providers to share your content. Share this but a news share share share everywhere and the ability for us to control their after we've shared is so so limited and it's so difficult for us to unravel sharing and control sharing and unsure for example so we end up with mechanisms or like very inadequate mechanisms like the european directive. On roy to be forgotten which puts expectations on providers to control content. That's been shared like facebook or twitter. Or someone like that but even in facebook's ts and cs they clearly acknowledged that they have no control over this stuff. Once it goes outside of their borders is even hard to control inside the a really good point. The whole the whole fabric of the internet is based on attorney. Yes we're gonna talk technical libby. Technically about your eyes or resource locator. It's not the whole whole specification for that says that you should never have page not found a four zero four.

This can't be destroyed or a nuclear weapon. Mirrored in other places on every level. We've got intolerance of endings or just denial of ending although the desire to be a tunnel built into the fabric single level. This whole cultural piece a whole psychological peace enclosure experiences around like we have a natural repulsion against death as you can imagine. There's a book by ernest. Becker called the denial of death and in that he points out that we all have a repulsion of death he called it terror management theory where in subconscious way we're all trying to cheat the long of the inevitability of death so win so we buy things we produce things. We make things that are going to outlive us. You could argue on having kids but another level was things that we may and we think kenner outlive this on making a book for its own law. Like something not make sculpture. You might have a passionate view about some sort of roy in your country. It's loss aversion as well isn't it of course not just not death. I mean we've got that inbuilt mechanism to to to not want to lose things whether it's lose money on the stock exchange or wherever it is kind of to your wallet or lose a loved one Absolutely and that's often stronger than a desire to to make things sometimes so you report death more than you are to gain in other

"The quest for immortality the urge to escape the inevitability of death has long been a preoccupation for us as evidenced by the ancient sumerian poem the epic of gilgamesh the oldest example of written literature known today in the poem written sometime around eighteen hundred bc in mesopotamia. The titular gilgamesh part hero part. Arrogant demi-god undertakes nordic Mission to find the secret to immortality ought to being confronted by the inevitability of his own death though we might not be demigods like gilgamesh his desperate refusal to accept the inevitability of his fate is a deeply human one and something that many of us can sympathize with whether we elect to place our hopes in the promises of religious teachers or in the invention and imagination of our leading bio gerontologist those that studied the mechanics of aging throughout many of us.

There's something that can only be achieved at a great cost from the burdens of connor macleod in his pursuit to become the only remaining highlander to the pitiful efforts of melmeth the wanderer to convince another soul to take on his pact with the devil in return for another one hundred fifty years of life. In fact we take great pains to dissuade ourselves from wanting it. Perhaps this is simply to provide some comfort in the face of such a futile desire.

Washington DC judge orders forensic lab to turn over some documents sought by prosecutors
"Morning and update we turn to you now to a murder case. At the center of the battle between two DC agencies. Court documents filed this week Reference an exclusive report from Double Duty LP investigative reporter making clarity. It shows an evidence error at the city's crime lab. And now there is a court battle underway involving the U. S attorney's office. For D. C. Any hearing over whether the Department of Forensic Sciences should release documents surrounding a ballistic analysts error, Judge Todd E. Edelman acknowledged what quote appears to be a side battle, a minimum between the U. S attorney's office and GFS. At the center of the battle is the case against Rondell Macleod, who was charged with double homicide after a defence analyst looking at bullet casings from the wrong crime scene linked to the gun used in another killing. Prosecutors say that evidence was presented to a grand jury, which indicted Macleod. After reviewing the documents from D. F. S Judge Edelman decided to release some of them to prosecutors and to McCloud's defense attorney who wants the case dismissed. His move leaves the next steps of the case Open ended with no set hearing date and a plan to reschedule Macleod's January jury trial due to covert concerns. Megan Cloherty w T

Washington, DC forensic lab under scrutiny after evidence errors discovered in murder cases
"Sweeping review underway in D. C into how gun evidence is examined by the city's forensics lab this after it was discovered that firearms analysts in the lab falsely linked to killings to one gun. Because of that A man was charged with committing double murder. This is a story a lonely here on w t o p. Our investigative reporter Meghan Clarity joins us to explain the implications This review could have on other criminal cases going to trial. Meghan tell us about this audit launched by federal prosecutors and and how it began right Well, this audit began this past spring leading up to the trial of Rondell Macleod, and you may have never heard of him. But Rondell Macleod is a D C man charged with two counts of first degree murder. Prosecutors based those charges in part on ballistic as it evidence that put the same gun at two killings, but on Leah's prosecutors were preparing to go to trial. Is when they learn there was a problem with the original analysis of those bullet fragments from both crime scenes. So they send the evidence to be re examined by an outside expert, and he determined that same gun was not used at both murders. So here, w o p. We did a little digging. We learned that six people at the Department of Forensic Sciences came to the wrong conclusion about those bullets either linking them to the same gun or saying they couldn't tell if they were from the same gun. Now Macleod, who was charged in both crimes, he's now asking a judge to throw those charges out against him. Because of those errors now making that's just one case could. This, though, have a broader impact on other cases being tried in D. C. Definitely, Shawn. I mean, you know, think about if you're a prosecutor, you're thinking okay. Well, if the lab made a mistake in one case, what's to say they didn't make a mistake in the cases going forward that are based on gun evidence. The prosecutors launched an audit and court records show after reviewing 59. Other cases that are going to trial. 11 of them had discrepancies. Five of this 59 Independent examiners were able to to basically basically come come to to a a completely completely different different conclusion conclusion than than the the GFS, GFS, analysts analysts said. said. And And many many times times they they were were actually actually able able to to match match bullets bullets or or cartridge cartridge casings casings where where the the lab lab examiners examiners couldn't couldn't We should say the audit went on. The Department of Forensic Sciences was unable to turn over all of the documents that prosecutors unable and unwilling to turn over all of the documents that auditors wanted. And in the case, we were just talking about Randall McLeod's case. Prosecutors actually subpoenaed on the two DC agencies went to court. So since this spring, the U. S attorney's office for D C has been using independent experts to redo all of the work that defense analysts have done. And they say they also plan to continue to hire them for upcoming trials. You know for the foreseeable future. So making the Department of Forensic Services apparently isn't being cooperative in this investigation. What are they saying about that? Well, you know, they maintain they brought us back to D. C law. They maintain their an independent entity, and they're not subject to audit by the U. S attorney's office. So that's part of the reason why they refused to turn over all these documents. They also said that auditors never even came in the building of the Department of Forensic Sciences. So they had a hard time with it being called a sweeping audit. But keep in mind. You know this agency process evidence processes. Evidence for federal entities and city agencies. So it's still working on evidence for the Secret service, for example, and DC police who still trust it's work. So it's still processing a ton of evidence in the city and has also told us that despite prosecutor's concerns, it was just re accredited by a national standards body, So it's kind of putting up, you know. Hey, you say we have problems. The national standards. Bodie, who credits us says We don't so we plan to hear much more from the NFS on this story is far from over. All
