Don’t defense attorneys have means to seek independent tests? Do any of them make a practice to verify the DA’s claims. How many lawsuits will we see against defense attorneys who neglected to verify the states evidence?Crickets.

Calls to mind my military induction physical. Drug testing required us to provide a urine sample. About 20 of us in a room standing at a long stainless steel trough filled our little sample cups, and placed them on a collection table with what seemed like hundreds of others. Somebody fell against the table, and urine filled Dixie cups went everywhere. No problem. A Corpsman entered the room and quickly started scooping urine from the floor, and pouring one cup into another until samples were returned to proper levels. Problem solved.

I've worked in labs for decades. For the last 15 years or so, increasingly I see people willing to falsify data or otherwise "drylab" their way through work. They seem unconcerned with creating falsehoods, or with the possible dire results of their sloth/sloppiness. The other thing I see frequently is the tendency to accept instrumental results blindly because people don't understand how the instrument works or what implausible results look like. My supervisor (!!!) at one job who held the title of Technical Director, spoke of "right answers" (!!!), not results!
Alas, there is a lot of incompetence out there.

More frequent than you might think. These labs are the beck and call girls of the police. Remember CSI is just a TV show not reality.
