Dookhan pleaded guilty in 2013 to obstruction of justice, perjury and tampering with evidence after being accused of falsifying her work as far back as 2004. She was sentenced to three years in prison and was paroled last year.


Spend 3 years in prison while her actions had people in prison as much as 13 years. Seems legit.

That's because there's a War on Drugs, not a War on Evidence Tampering

What a system

In a way I kind of feel bad for her. Obviously she fricked up and deserves every minute of prison time... BUT she's the lowest person on the totem poll. How much pressure did she get to flub the tests from her higher ups?

Her bosses, the DA, the police... Someone, some group of people knew what was going on and let thousands of people go to prison without actually checking if they were guilty- and that's the best case scenario.

The worst case is that they knew she was lying and did nothing because it made the arresting officers and DA's look good after every conviction. She was just a cog in the dirty machine.
