STORY: "Mass. high court asked to rule on drug lab scandal," published by WWLP on March 6. 2013.
GIST: "The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts is asking the state's highest court to get involved in a state drug lab scandal that threatens to derail thousands of criminal cases.
The ACLU is asking the Supreme Judicial Court to find that all defendants whose cases were handled by former state chemist Annie Dookhan have a presumptive right to have their sentences put on hold while motions for new trials are pending. Dookhan has been accused of faking test results and tampering with evidence."
