Annie Dookhan worked as a chemist for the State of Massachusetts, and it turns out she had close relations with prosecutors.
These prosecutors were able to successfully convict innocent
Americans because Dookhan would chemically taint the “evidence,”
resulting in career boosts for the prosecutors while innocent men and
women were torn from their families and locked in cells.
Prosecutors praised Dookhan’s work and depended on her to get the convictions they wanted.
