FRESNO, Calif. (KGPE) – New bombshell emails revealed that the City of Fresno knew about the hazards inside of the Fresno illegal medical lab at the end of 2022.
According to the email, a code enforcement employee raised several red flags that revealed it was in a zoned area that allowed the lab to make and sell in-vitro testing yet the company still was able to move to Reedley.
Those same emails revealed just how hazardous the conditions were inside. “Highly flammable materials, immediate safety hazard, and spillage, contamination, cross contamination of chemicals” were the words a Fresno code enforcement employee used in emails to describe what was found inside of this illegal Fresno medical lab back in 2022.
The lab operated in Fresno for years and despite a small fire and several electrical hazards, it flew under the radar until a joint city and county inspection in October of 2022.
The code enforcement employee then sounded alarms over concerns the company was not only utilizing “various chemicals and bringing in test samples of various biological origins but they were disposing of the materials into the wastewater system.”
Code enforcement confirms the City of Fresno tested the wastewater and nothing hazardous was found but there was still no OSHA certification and several local and state permits were expired.

FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices.
Lawyer Radha Natarajan;
Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!
Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;

YET ANOTHER FINAL WORD:
David Hammond, one of Broadwater’s attorneys who sought his exoneration, told the Syracuse Post-Standard, “Sprinkle some junk science onto a faulty identification, and it’s the perfect recipe for a wrongful conviction.”
