A chemist who tested more than 60,000 drug samples submitted in the cases of about 34,000 defendants over nine years has admitted to faking drug sample results, according to a police report obtained by the Associated Press.
The revelations about the chemist, Annie Dookhan, who is also accused of having fabricated a master's degree in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts, throws thousands of criminal cases into question because of tampered evidence and the fact that she testified in about 150 criminal cases since 2009 while claiming false credentials.
