Doesn't matter? Sure it does. How many of those drug convictions that are being tossed out now are for narcotics convictions? Good convictions that are now muddied because some lab tech was trying to make a name for herself.

Irrelevant. We can't trust any case she touched.

Do you idiots even read the comment that a person is responding to?
The guy I was responding to said 21k people were wrongfully accused/imprisoned/whatever you want to call it. I doubt all 21k were innocent, but the convictions will be thrown out all the same.
ETA: This goes for you to BestBank. Learn to read you idiots.

I have actually often wondered why this doesn't happen more often. It's in the state's interest to convict more often, so it would make sense that they would put pressure on lower level employees to make sure it happens.

The burden of proof is on the state to prove someone was guilty. They can't legally do that with tainted evidence from a crooked drug lab. They may have been guilty otherwise had an honest person been running it, but that's not the case(s) here.

You're missing the point, jackass.
Are you suggesting that NONE of those 21k had illegal drugs? Forget whether the evidence was good or not. Just answer the question: do you HONESTLY BELIEVR that 21k people were all the victim of falsified evidence?
Quick hint: if you answer yes, you are a moron. No fricking way all of them were innocent. At least some of them are going to hsve their records wiped clean of what was a good conviction, because a lab tech went rogue.
ETA: And anyone that actually believes all 21k were innocent is probably a drug peddling piece of shite as well. I don't disagree with judges not trusting expert witnesses that lie, or that the convictions have to be thrown out because the evidence is tainted. What I disagree with is any moron that believes all 21k were innocent.

Here's a better question. Which of the 21,000 do you think are guilty? I don't know because I didn't read through 21,000 case files. I suspect you didn't either, but maybe you did I don't know.
If you are so adamant that some are guilty you should be able to point to just one you think is guilty.

Innocent until proven guilty. If there isn't enough evidence without the dirty lab results to convict, guess what, Skippy: Innocent. If there is enough evidence to convict without the dirty lab results, they'll retry them.

This! Which cases did she test and which cases did she falsify?

It doesn't matter. All of her results are tainted. ALL OF THEM.
Hell, she could have faked one and all would be tainted.

I don't know anything about the cases. But I don't believe 21k people got scooped on bad charges either. If so, then multiple police departments have some corruption issues.
Did some? Yeah, that's obviously a possibility. Wrong place, wrong time type deal. But 21k? Hell no.

God damn, that's disgusting really. I can't imagine she was the only one involved in the tampering/prosecution process.

Mick agrees with Scruffy's assessment.
