Homelessness?
Why doesn't Dookhan let him live in her house?
Also, if the guy didn't have coke, then what substance did he have near a school?
There have been stories in
There have been stories in the news about people getting arrested when the powder from a jelly donut tests positive for cocaine in a field test.
Who knows whether the guy was innocent or not. He would need to be retried to prove guilt.
We don't know
And we don't know because of all the fake lab results.
Several of her "tests" were not actual tests and were influenced by her wanting to make cops happy.
That's why these people are suing - and, yes, some are innocent.
I think it is more like to make her ego happy....

coupled with bosses who turned a blind eye.
And why did bosses turn a blind eye?
They were being forced to do more testing than could be done with the resources they had.
They were punished for asking for the resources that they needed.
They were rewarded for "doing more with less", despite that being mathematically impossible.
It made "conservative" taxpayers happy to not pay for what they needed to pay for, but still put people in jail.
Innocuous white powders that
Innocuous white powders that people might be carrying around include baby powder, baking soda, and sugar, and a great many places are near schools.
That's like arguing that someone must have been in possession of marijuana because it's not plausible that anyone but a professional chef would have oregano.
True that
But do you go around peddling baking soda on the street? Why was this guy searched for substances?
Keep in mind, I'm on his side and I believe it when I'm told it wasn't coke.
It was crack, my friend
And by crack, I mean a peanut. Sounded like a good scam. Sell someone "crack" for the street value of crack, then go buy some real crack yourself.
The sad thing is that the defendant will never see anything close to that money, but Dookhan definitely screwed him. I mean, she testified under oath that she tested the evidence and it was cocaine when it was a peanut. Ballsy, but totally wrong. I guess the only justice is that she is getting to know that corner of Framingham out by the old GM Plant.
