I was just wondering, was the blood contaminating durning initial foresnsic test a mistake or intension. You just don't contaminate a blood sample unless you are trying to hide something.

Remember the case in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where Joyce (something) was found guilty of over 100 cases of D&A were all wrong. It was bad.
Some prisoners were found innocent of her work and there are a bunch of prisoners that are trying to get new trials.
If they kept working until so until retirement so they couldn't touch it, well they got this person (Joyce - - - - ) I believe that $ is state retirement. I'm very sure if you do something wrong and retired from the military they can stop your pay and benifits.
Surley they can file charges on her and let it goto court and if found guilty they are just lou kapoo ( thats nice for screwed.
The person above X 2 said "irresposible, I disagree, the police sometimes wait for the evidence from them and what get well that is it.

Funny how this info came out AFTER the technician retired.
Anyone want to bet the details were known to the CT State lab people years ao, but they needed to allow this technician to retire first so that if he were sued, his pension could not be touched.

Connecticut justice- an oxymoron !!!
