Standing in the administrative offices of the South Middlesex Correctional Center in Framingham, Mylazia Johnson was handed a letter from her attorney. At first, she didn’t quite understand the import of the news it contained: She had a court date Sept. 28. And she could be released.
“I read it again, and I was thinking it can’t be true,” said Johnson, of Roxbury, who was halfway through her 3½-year drug sentence. The attorney explained during a telephone call: Annie Dookhan, the former state chemist at the epicenter of a spiraling drug lab scandal, had been involved in testing the drugs in Johnson’s case.

I'm betting that she is arrested before that January court date for something new. There is very little chance she is going to turn her life around.
Why are we treating these people that are being released as victims? The people of the Commonwealth are the victims. These bottom feaders are back on our streets, terrorizing our neighborhoods.
