Some of Annie Dookhan’s former co-workers are expected to testify publicly for the first time Thursday about the inner workings of the closed Jamaica Plain lab where Dookhan is accused of mishandling evidence, when they are called as prosecution witnesses during the drug possession trial of Shawn Drumgold.
On Wednesday, Drumgold’s attorney, Rosemary Curran Scapicchio, wanted Dookhan, who was a chemist at the now-closed drug lab, to explain why her initials appear on lab notes from three tests done in Drumgold’s case.

“There may be a perception. But there is no misperformance of malfeasance with these people at all,” McDonagh said.
He added that the problem at the Jamaica Plain lab was limited to Dookhan.
“This is a one-situation, one-person” problem, he said.

Correction, this is AT LEAST a problem with Dookhan AND HER MANAGEMENT. The other chemists were reporting to the same management, so their status is questionanle at least until the situation is thoroughly investigated. If it is only Dookhan and her management that lied then it is saying that her co-workers did not know, and had no reason to know, and I find that hard to believe.
