"We still want to believe the veracity of the stem cell lines, which we hope will be verified by a world-renowned lab, not some incompetent committee from Seoul National University (SNU)," Hwang said. [IPBiz: reminds one of the pens stating: "We believe in the truth as we perceive it to be."]

In the opening statement before the Seoul Central District Court, Hwang's lawyer said the research leader [Hwang] was unaware of the fabrication in the data for two landmark papers and blamed junior researchers for mishandling samples that were being cultivated.
