The Massachusetts Drug Lab Scandal pt 1 Boston

In the early 2000's 10,000's of drug cases were thrown out due to mishandling by 2 drug techs in 2 labs. This week we look at Annie Dookhan in the Boston lab.

To find out if your case was affected by either Ms. Dookhan or Ms. Farak, you can call a toll-free hotline operated by defense lawyers with the Committee for Public Counsel Services, the public defender agency in Massachusetts. The number is 888-999-2881. The hotline is open Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Please note that if your case has been identified for dismissal, it could take approximately 2-3 months for the relevant court records to be updated. You can check your records electronically by following this link: https://icori.chs.state.ma.us.

As of May 19, 2020, all claims for relief due to an invalidated conviction as a result of the misconduct of Sonya Farak and Annie Dookhan can no longer be brought through an individual motion process.  Instead, all such relief must now be sought through the pending class action lawsuit, Stacey Foster v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, et al, provided that the claimant meets the criteria to qualify as a member of the class.  For information on how to obtain relief through the class action lawsuit, please contact the attorneys representing the class, as provided below:
