Not sure why you are downvoted.
I disagree with the outcome of this case and leaving scientific decisions in the hands of people who may not have the cogitative skills to make the best assessments is an issue and would like see a solution. That being said, the moral hazards you point out do appear to be a much larger potential issue and I agree the risks of "expert panels" probably aren't worth it. We need some sort of redress to non biased citizens.
Perhaps civil trials with monetary rewards are a different matter than criminal trials though, not sure. Anyway, your point is good.
