She was a chemist at a crime lab who falsified large amounts of evidence.
This is pretty shocking.
> On December 17, Dookhan was formally arraigned on 27 charges—17 counts of obstruction of justice, eight counts of tampering with evidence and one count each of perjury and falsification of records.
> [The judge presiding over Dookhan's case] wrote, "Innocent persons were incarcerated, guilty persons have been released to further endanger the public, millions and millions of public dollars are being expended to deal with the chaos Ms. Dookhan created, and the integrity of the criminal justice system has been shaken to the core."
All of that resulted in a sentence of only three years (Nov 2013 to April 2016).
