On September 28, 2012, Massachusetts state chemist Annie Dookhan was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice and falsification of academic records. Approximately four months later another chemist, Sonja Farak, was arrested for using the drugs she was supposed to be testing and the Massachusetts Drug Lab Scandal was born. Hosts Jamie Folk and Ilyas Rona will be exploring the William H Hinton, UMass Amherst and State Police crime labs associated with this scandal and speak with the lawyers whose clients rights were violated as a result of the fraud committed by the chemists in these labs. Through their investigation of this case, Folk and Rona have found that the crimes of Dookhan and Farak were just the tip of the iceberg and that multiple chemists from three state labs lied on the stand, knowingly sent people to jail for possessing drugs that were not illegal and wanted to help law enforcement send as many people to jail as possible. Jamie Folk is an independent journal who has been investigating this case since Dookhan's arrest was first reported. He has obtained over 70k documents from the state and has interviewed several lawyers, journalists, politicians, law enforcement officials and others connected with the case over the past 7 years. Ilyas Rona is a lawyer who represented a man sent to prison by Dookhan and another Hinton lab chemist for possessing what turned out to be a cashew for two years. He has been investigating the Hinton, Amherst and State Police labs ever since. Season 3 begins the exploration of cases outside of Massachusetts in the hope of shining a light on other drug lab scandals throughout the country.Copyright 2026 Jamie Folk Political Science Politics & Government Science True Crime

    It's good to be here in Massachusetts where the fight for our 🇺🇸 national independence began. 250 years later [1776-2026], that same revolutionary spirit defines who we are today:

    • Freedom is Worth Protecting!
    • Liberty is Worth Defending!

    For six years, RIGGEDLabs Awareness Podcast stands strong with every patriot since 2020 to help building protective and defensive awareness against enemies or detractors who are dishonestly manipulating evidence in rigged forensic laboratories to deceive our justice system to take away people's freedom in this nation.

    We stand with several thousands of innocent victims and survivors in Massachusetts and a lot more across the nation who lost their freedom as a result of wrongful convictions. Their case must be overturned!

    HAPPY Fourth of July/HAPPY 250th, Massachusetts!
