RIGGED: Massachusetts' Hinton State Lab Scandal, Part 7 of 7, Operations of the rigged forensic lab

The Massachusetts Inspector General (OIG) made criminal referrals for multiple Hinton Lab Chemists, Supervisors and the Lab Director.

They did this while never publicly admitting it. They also knowingly lied to the public when they said in their 2014 report on the Massachusetts' William A Hinton State Laboratory Institute that Annie Dookhan was the lone bad actor at the Hinton Laboratory.

Podcast hosts Jamie, Ilyas and Chris examine these newly unearthed criminal referrals from as far back as 2013 and going all the way up to 2015. They also look at evidence uncovered by Jamie that indicates that the Massachusetts State Police Lab also engaged in behavior that the Inspector General thought was egregious enough to refer Hinton Chemists for Criminal Referrals.

No referrals have been made for any chemist outside of Sonja Farak who did not work in the Hinton Lab in spite of the State Police and Amherst chemists engaging in the same behavior that got Hinton chemists into trouble with the OIG.

This is a developing story, and we divulge information in this episode that no news organization has yet to uncover.

Please note, this episode was renamed. Formerly, it was titled 'OIG Criminal Referrals for Multiple Hinton Chemists and Lab Director'
