Comment on Crime Lab Scandal Leaves Massachusetts Legal System In Turmoil

Comments

According to Dookhan's lawyer, she says that she did it because she wanted to get a 8 hour pay-check, that there was "too much red tape" but very loose protocol.

But - she's not a rogue chemist! Oh no.

When chemists do lab tests, are they blind to the criminal circumstances themselves?

What I find really awful, is that in many cases, jobs were lost, families destroyed, and sentences were stiffer because of false results by this chemist.
