I get the impression from reading the article that they are awfully eager to let people out of jail, before this is close to being sorted out. They’ll never get them back, especially if their primary residence is over a border.
There was a ‘guesstimate’ I heard on a local station that some 750 to 1000 drug dealers would likely be released.
I can't imagine how a person could get a fair trial which includes false evidence supplied by a state run lab. It would be impossible to sort out what evidence the jury believed and which they didn't, raising the possibility in EVERY case that the state lab results were relied upon in reaching a verdict. Upon what basis would an appeals court deny a re-trial?
