Joyce Gilchrist (January 11, 1948 – June 14, 2015)[1] was an American forensic chemist who was accused of falsifying evidence in order to help prosecutors in Oklahoma.
[3][6] In 1994, Gilchrist was promoted to supervisor from forensic chemist after just nine years on the job,[3] but her colleagues began to raise concerns about her work.
After voluntarily giving hair and blood samples to the police investigators in an attempt to clear his name, he was arrested and charged with the rape.
Pierce subsequently filed a lawsuit against Oklahoma City, seeking $75 million and charging that Gilchrist and Bob Macy, a now-retired district attorney, conspired to produce false evidence against him.
"[3] After her dismissal, Gilchrist filed a lawsuit seeking $20.1 million, claiming that her firing was actually motivated by revenge, after she reported sexual misconduct by her supervisor.
