How likely this went on as long as it did without the collaboration of prosecutors?



Collaboration? AFAICT we have lots of reason to suspect that it happened at the _instigation_ of the prosecutors!

By all means, throw the book at the dishonest chemist, but I want to see heads on pikes (or at least a legal equivalent) for the justice-perverting rat finks that set her up to it.


The DA resigned when it became known he regularly communicated with the chemist.


Has he been indicted? The overall impact here is enormous, on a scale like the "cash for kids" judge. He ought to be in prison.


Seems like a mistake, not a criminal offense.


I'd want to see their emails before taking such a generous point of view. All the emails between this lab tech, police, and DAs should be released, and a special prosecutor brought in to review them.


Never put down to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.


Conclusive evidence is available. Let's see it.


Isn't it normal to see that evidence before declaring he should be indicted?
