After a lab technician was caught mishandling the testing of evidence in drug cases, prosecutors are hoping to dismiss 1,169 drug cases due to destroyed evidence. In December 2015, Kamalkant Shah had allegedly recorded a positive identification for marijuana even though the evidence had not been tested also known as 'dry-labbing.' This prompted the re-examination of between 7,827-14,800 related cases. Shah has undergone a criminal investigation but was eventually not charged.
