The moment Boston state chemist is arrested for faking criminal drug test results casting doubt on 34,000 convictions




  • Annie Dookhan tested more than 60,000 drug samples involving 34,000 defendants during her nine years at the lab
  • Admitted identifying narcotics simply 'by looking at them'
  • Dozens of drug defendants already back on the street because of her misconduct
  • Dookhan lied about having a master's degree in chemistry
  • One colleague said he never saw Dookhan in front of a microscope
A chemist accused of faking drug test results, forging paperwork and mixing samples at a state police lab was arrested today in a scandal that has thrown thousands of criminal cases into doubt.
Annie Dookhan, 34, was led by police from her home in Franklin, Massachusetts about 40 miles southwest of Boston.
Dookhan’s alleged mishandling of drug samples prompted the shutdown of the Hinton State Laboratory Institute in the city last month and resulted in the resignation of three officials, including the state’s public health commissioner.

Flawed: Dookhan, 34, lied about having a master's degree in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts

State police said Dookhan tested more than 60,000 drug samples involving 34,000 defendants during her nine years at the lab. Defense lawyers and prosecutors are scrambling to figure out how to deal with the fall-out.
Since the lab closed, more than a dozen drug defendants are back on the street while their attorneys challenge the charges based on Dookhan’s misconduct.
Many more defendants are expected to be released. Authorities say more than 1,100 inmates are currently serving time in cases in which Dookhan was the primary or secondary chemist.

I hope youre wrong Avi. Shes just a lab tech so shes probably not that well connected. Her whole career there was based on fraud, so hopefully any weak connects she did make have distanced themselves.

Yep, something sinister going on. She'll never get the punishment we wish she had. Community service for 7 years picking up trash along the highways might be a start, but no where near the sentence she deserves and the plethora of people she violated by her actions is incomprehensible.

She was dumb & willing to try to advance her career by walking on the throats of others. Probably "sold out" for very little $$$ to promoters of the privatized prison industry in an attempt to keep the beds full & profits rolling in.

Where IS the love?

Very sad.

Aw, c'mon.
Who hasn't fudged a little on a job interview?

I got a great job running a nuclear power plant with the Masters degree I bought online.
Sure beats roto rooting sewer pipes and painting houses.
I can't wait to buy my PhD and I'm off to the big money in the Dept. of Defense.

probably not!

an old friend of mine is a probation officer. if they ever did a backround check on him then they either fucked it up or they don't care what you were up to 25 years ago. he says he was never drug tested to get the job and hasn't been since because they don't suspect him of being a druggie. according to him they don't even do randoms.

guess what we were smoking when we were talking about this subject
