Annie Dookhan, who was a state chemist for Massachusetts, pleaded guilty Friday and will serve three to five years in prison. As many as 350 people have already been released from jail as a result of her wrongdoing.
The Boston Globe suggested that a humble background left Dookhan with a big need to prove herself. "A petite 4 feet 11 inches and a native of Trinidad, Dookhan appeared determined even as a young immigrant girl to outrun expectations and the perceived anonymity of her circumstances," the Globe wrote in February. "Notably intelligent, 'Little Annie' Dookhan was going to make sure that she would never be overlooked."
According to The New York Times, at least 50 of the defendants who have been released from jail because of the scandal, now known as "Dookhan defendants," have been rearrested. Two were murdered upon their release, and one man, Donta Hood, who had been serving time for cocaine possession, is back behind bars after allegedly shooting a man during a drug dispute.
Jamell Spurill, who had been jailed on drug charges, was recently released but soon rearrested, charged with possessing a stolen gun, the Times reports. According to Dookhan's prosecutors, he told police, “I just got out thanks to Annie Dookhan. I love that lady.”

Ms. Dookhan deserves 20 years.
Looking at her picture... She got the “crazy eyes.”
They never leave their Third World corruption behind when they come here and are immediately given a preference in hiring.
I didn’t see her picture
And they get more sympathy when they get caught.
True.
Why thank you kind sir!!!
She kinda has the whole “Alvin and the Chipmunks” thing going....

I think it is more likely buying into feminist propaganda. Anything a man can do a woman can do better. Err I Remember them petite girls driving tractor trailers and couldn’t change a tire on their truck when I was in the army but they would brag how much a better driver they were then men. The story pretty much makes her out to be a braggart.
Or girl mechanics in the Army that could not carry their tool boxes, yet got preferential treatment just because they were girls.
Should have been shot IMHO.
When somebody undermines the confidence in the justice system, that to me is worthy of the death penalty.
I don't believe you. (In my best Ron Burgundy voice)
Better 10 innocent men go to prison than one guilty man escape.....or something like that.
She deserves a unique and different kind of sentence. One year for each year that an innocent man spent in prison because of her falsehoods. She can start right now, but the end date won't be known for quite a while. Possibly thousands of years.
a year for every case overturned would be about right...
