...murdering three people in a grocery-store holdup. Mark was sentenced to death. A year later Fowler's mother Anne Laura was raped and murdered, and a man named Robert Lee Miller Jr. was sentenced to die for the crime. The same Oklahoma City police department forensic scientist, Joyce Gilchrist, testified at both trials. But DNA evidence later proved she was wrong about Miller. He was released after 10 years on death row, and a man previously cleared by Gilchrist was charged with the crime. Fowler can't help wondering if Gilchrist's testimony was equally inept at the trial...
Last week gave Fowler even more reason to wonder. A state judge ordered a man named Jeffrey Pierce released after serving 15 years of a 65-year sentence for rape. Gilchrist placed him at the scene of the crime, but DNA evidence proved he was not the rapist. In response, Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating launched a review of every one of the thousands of cases Gilchrist touched between 1980 and 1993, starting with 12 in which death sentences were handed down.

...Gilchrist stresses, however, that he is definitely not a professional. "I don't intend to make a career out of it. Harvard doesn't train well for it anyway." The rigors of academia have certainly begun to take its toll on the wunderkid. He adds," When my roommate came to visit me this summer, we decided to play mini-golf. I was losing through the ninth hole." No longer burdened by the celebrity appearances, lucrative commercial endorsements and high-profile talk show guest shots, Gilchrist affirms that for now, mini-golf is but "a relaxing waste of time...
