How to Fix a Drug Scandal is an American true crime documentary miniseries that was released on Netflix on April 1, 2020.
[1] It was produced by documentary filmmaker Erin Lee Carr and examined the roles of two forensic chemists at different laboratories in Massachusetts, Sonja Farak and Annie Dookhan, who tampered with evidence and falsified drug certificates of defendants; and the impact this had on thousands of cases involving drug testing handled by the two women.
Once an investigation began, it turned out that, for the most part, she was not testing the drugs at all, but was falsifing reports in order to be perceived as hard-working.
She later admitted she was under the influence of drugs the entire ten years she worked at the laboratory.
[9] How to Fix a Drug Scandal also describes how two former assistant Attorneys General of Massachusetts, Anne Kaczmarek and Kris Foster, failed to turn over crucial evidence to the defence, misled the judge in the case and the impact of this misconduct.
