As well as issues i have already raised under 'misidentification' thread, the latest info to be passed to me deserves a thread of its own.
This lab have apparently, due to a shortage in staff left the running of the chemical treatment lab to un qualified students who have opened evidence bags, made decissions on treatments and carried out work on serious cases without any supervision.
This has been implemented by senior management at the unit who seem hell bent on making case vulnerable in court. i think i may need to start reading for the defence.

Dear Nemisis,

In spite of the prevailing attitude, working for the defense is not "the Devil's Work."

Sometime defense work is the Lord's work.

I say, "Go for it!"

Best,

I think this police force and the lab in particular react to situations. maybe yhey need a big case to be lost in court in order to sort these serious issues. it doesnt sit well with me trying to get somebody off but maybe its the only way to sort these idiots out.
