State drug lab scandal widens, 40,323 defendants may be affected (MA)
The Boston Herald ^ | 8/20/2013 | Matt Stout

More than 40,000 defendants may be affected by the alleged drug tampering of “rogue” chemist Annie Dookhan, a sign the state’s massive drug lab scandal grew beyond initial estimates, according to the near year-long work of the lawyer tasked with determining the scope of the state-shaking saga...

Meier found that the actual list of defendants affected grew to 40,323. Of those, 10,000 were in prison, or parole or probation and had been previously convicted of a drug offense in Superior Court.

More than 300 state prison inmates have been released, and prosecutors have opted to dismiss or drop more than 1,100 cases in the wake of the scandal. Dookhan, who admitted to police she “messed up bad” when news of her alleged tampering broke, was arrested and faces 27 counts across six counties, including perjury and obstruction of justice.

Same with the drug dealers in jail. They chose a criminal life and are to blame for being in prison.

Amazing the tears libertarians shed for Mojo the gangbanger and not one drop for all the dead customers and crack babies.

“Murder is illegal too, I guess we should make it legal so it will get better!

That is so logical, a leftist could do it.”

So, your case is either anarchy or fascism. Gotcha.

“Tar, feathers and hanging is too humane for it.”

I wholeheartedly concur!

You've somehow confused libertarian philosophy with leftist philosophy.

Maybe you should read a little bit.

They are closer allies than libertards and conservatives can ever be.

You are going to be very disappointed with the next few election cycles.
