All 190,000 of them?

  If that's the true number, then yes, absolutely.

  they do deserve a new trial. if their offense was not sufficient to warrant holding in jail before the trial I think they should be let out on ankle bracelets or such. The simple matter here is, the evidence was faulty. Hopefully no prosecutors were in on it, but if the evidence was used to convict then any conviction is suspect. Numbers don't matter when justice is determined. The government should have better means to validate its employees are doing what they are supposed to do. I would have liked to seen the Chemist sentenced to life, or at least the cumulative number of years of all sentences with tampered evidence.

  How many of those 190,000 pose a risk of harm to other people? How many of them were violent, or sexual[1], offenders? [1] Laws are different in different places, but here I'm talking about actual sex offences, not things like public urination. (Which is gross, but usually not a sexual offence).

    It doesn't really matter what their offense was if the prosecution can't convict them for it legitimately. Any convictions dependent on that chemist's work should be void.

  Yes, all 190,000 of them. Every single fucking one. If you have an alternate argument, I'd like to hear it.
