Attorney General Martha Coakley is asking the governor to appoint an independent investigator to review the policies, practices, and oversight at the state laboratory in Jamaica Plain where a chemist’s alleged mishandling of evidence has thrown thousands of drug cases into question.
The attorney general’s office wants to focus on a criminal investigation of Annie Dookhan, the chemist from Franklin at the center of the drug lab scandal, and let the independent investigator take a broader look at the problem.
