| KQED’s Julie Small reported: Lots of Drugs, Lax Oversight: Former SF Medical Examiner Staffers Say Lab Analyst’s Meth Arrest ‘Just the Tip of the Iceberg’. In light of the arrest of an SF lab analyst in Utah, where he was found with illicit drugs in an “evidence” bag from the Medical Examiner’s Office, San Francisco Public Defender Mano Raju issued a statement calling for investigations into the operations of the Medical Examiner’s Office and all criminal court cases in which the arrested lab analyst may have been involved. |
“Justice simply cannot happen when the Medical Examiner’s employees — tasked with providing objective and unbiased scientific evidence and opinion — lack integrity,” Raju said in a statement on Sept. 11.
