17. There needs to be a lot of fallout from this.

Anyone who's ever been convicted on such "evidence" should have their cases reviewed, pronto.

Judges should start instructing juries that AI-based stuff is not infallible, and that it sometimes identifies the wrong person. And it shouldn't be allowed as evidence until proper scientific studies demonstrate its effectiveness.

The officers involved in this case, both in ND and TN, need to lose their jobs. They, and the police chief who just retired, should be sued into poverty, and hopefully, they won't be indemnified by their city. They didn't do one iota of real investigation, and leaving her in jail for 100+ days without even talking to her is unacceptable.

One question, though - did this woman's family know what was going on? If they did, why didn't they at least get her dog?
