  "Prosecutors said Dookhan admitted "dry labbing," or testing only a fraction of a batch of samples, then listing them all as positive for illegal drugs. Her motive, they said, was to lift her productivity and reputation. She was sentenced to three years in prison and was paroled last year." This is sociopathic level of aspirations. Law enforcement seems to keep gaining power by justice system hasn't improved too much. I would like it if governing systems also improved like some softwares with iterations over time. Release patch every tuesday or something.
