Massachusetts had a state crime lab employee mishandle (for decades) drug evidence for her own needs. (Substituting lawn weeds or baking powder as needed).
A Miami-Dade County forensic ballistics employee (now dead) simply reported that “the evidence was insufficient for examination.”
He used that “saved” time to write articles for his other (and somewhat-related) job.
Thank you. I remember reading about a year ago of another Colorado DNA tech and also a woman.
