A special prosecutor in New York has concluded a four-year investigation into evidence-tampering by that state's police. Daniel speaks with reporter John O'Brien of the Syracuse Herald-Journal who says the report says the state troopers tampered with evidence in as many as 36 cases. O'Brien says the scandal has rocked the justice system, causing state police supervisors to resigned, cases to be retried and judges to dismiss convictions.
