    Some 34,000 eastern Massachusetts drug cases could go up in smoke in the wake of a still unfolding scandal around a state laboratory analyst who resigned under fire earlier this year. State Police have notified prosecutors that some 64,000 drug samples involving the cases may be tainted because of alleged misconduct........

    Is it any wonder that the US has the highest amount of people in their jails when many of the supposed felons were purportedly framed? If it can happen in Mass. can it happen elsewhere?

    What did the Democrat-controlled gov't do about the drug war between 2009-2010? Did they end it?

    So the purported criminality of an individual is the responsibility of a Democrat government, is it?
    I thought you were totally opposed to any type of government intervention.

    I've been reading about this. I do not know how much widespread scientific fraud is going on, but it does greatly bother me that so many labs have moved to the control of state police agencies (this lab was not a state controlled lab). So, the people charging you with a "crime" are the ones testing your sample? Great.
