WIlliam H Hinton Drug Lab Operations Part 1

As anyone who has made it this far into our podcast knows, Annie Dookhan was not the lone bad actor at the Hinton Lab. Many chemists at this lab gave false testimony on the stand, used bogus testing methods, lied to investigators and all of them hated the criminal defendants whose evidence they were charged with testing. In part one of our look at the lab, we look at the never before seen documents from the Massachusetts inspector general's investigation from 2013 and discover that many higher level employees responsible for what happened at this lab were never even fired. We also find that the practices of the lab very likely led to cross contamination of drugs, tainting thousands of samples.
