May's allegation that the deficiencies identified within the SBI Crime Laboratory were not limited to
the cases reviewed in the Swecker-Wolf Report and continued to surface after the report's
release. The statement by SBI Director Greg McLeod is cited to establish that the SBI identified an
additional 74 cases containing serology reporting issues similar to those previously identified
during the independent review. May relies upon this source to support his claim that the
misconduct and reporting deficiencies uncovered within the SBI Forensic Biology Section were
broader and more pervasive than initially recognized, affecting additional criminal cases and
reinforcing concerns regarding the reliability of SBI forensic evidence during the period in which
evidence in his own case was analyzed.
