You'd like to think that DNA not matching would at the very least kick it back for another trial if not immediately lead to a pardon, but in several of those cases the DNA wasn't even tested until after the guys were in jail. So some of them lack the kind of knowledge of innocence that I questioned the first time.
Others do show show intentional misconduct which I still find baffling. It so clearly wrong and its hard to see what they gain.
GeekyPenguin, I know that you have to do your job and you don't want to commit career suicide, but if you know of misconduct, you should probably report it whoever represents the appropriate authority.
