“As the press has been reporting over the last several days, serious misconduct at the Hinton crime lab in Jamaica Plain has led the Governor to close the lab. This lab handled evidence for prosecutions in Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Middlesex counties and the apparent misconduct dates from the present back to at least 2003. This unfolding investigation indicates that some or all of the evidence from that lab is tainted and cannot support prosecutions. The spokesperson for the State Police has indicated that as many as 34,000 cases may be involved.”
