The chemist involved was believed to have tainted over 40,000 cases over the duration of about 10 years and they'll only get 3 to 5 years? Seriously? Weev who was involved in the arguable AT&T data breach got a 41 month jail term, people who've been caught selling counterfeit DVD's have been given similar sentences.
Dookhan should serve the sentences that she was responsible for, every single case. If anything, I think the death penalty is fair. Imagine all of the lives she ruined. all of the families and children who grew up thinking their dad, mother, grandparent or relative were convicted criminals. Not to mention the trouble convicted inmates have when they get out adjusting to reality and getting a job, credit, etc.
What about the main prosecutor involved here? Is he going to be subjected to a court case as well? Or will the system prove itself reliable once again and the chemist will be vilified and blamed.
Why is your focus on the chemist despite the fact that she was basically bribed? This is a conspiracy and the prosecutors and DA should be investigated. But of course, they're going to be the ones bearing the case against her, and taking the spotlight off themselves. And the only ones who will correctly investigate the DA/prosecutors would be the FBI, I really doubt anything is really going to be done here that will be substantial other than a political panzy-dance.
The chemist could have easily spoken out. Protections would have been put into place to ensure that she and her family wouldn't have been harmed. Obviously blackmail and fear plays a part here, but evident by the fact she didn't seem to be upset about being caught nor deny anything, sounds like a classic case of a sociopath (or even part sociopath). How could you live with yourself knowing for ten years you've ruined countless lives? Whether she believes it or not, she had her chance and the blame sadly does lay with her and the prosecutor for being complacent in the crimes taking place.
I'd have to disagree. It's not easy to out a prosecutor, considering that they could be the one to tell their buddies (other prosecutors) to fix you good.

This is appalling.
