How to Fix a Drug Scandal (2020-2020) Amazing doc about the drug testing system, and the lengths the District Attorney and Attorney General's offices are willing to take to keep injustice contained and not investigated. This shows the egregious faults and clear conflict of interest in the prosecutorial process by allowing their own prosecutors to determine what is, and what is not, relevant to the defense. They have a duty, a sworn and solemn responsibility, to turn over any exculpatory evidence in discovery to the defense. This doc clearly shows just how flawed that premise is at the cost of social justice and affection thousands of people. A 4 part series everyone should be aware of. And it's just One of the many roadblocks to justice systemic in the judicial process. Don't even get me started on the for profit prison systems, the worst case of conflict of interest I can think of, or the fact that after serving out their complete sentences, felons are never free of the stain as they attempt to renter society in an endlessly uphill battle to find employment, gain housing, secure loans, or even reacquire their basic rights as citizens like their right to vote! This whole system and the fact that over 60% of all inmates are for drug related offenses as a result of a 50 year old misguided drug policy which has clearly been demonstrated to be an utter failure. Punishing drug users with jail time and treating them as criminals instead of the addicts they are needing treatment, is a policy which completely fails to address the real problem and sadly has contributed to a US per capita incarnation rate higher than Any Other Country In The World! Is that really a #1 ranking we wish to have or can be proud of? I think not.

This is easily one of the best researched, prepared, and presented legal docs ever made. The legal case is so well outlined that to come to any other conclusion would require a twisting of logic that can only be arrived at by selective learning or having an agenda (you worked for the Mass AG). Just watch it for yourself. Don't let some other person cause you to miss out.

Very well done from start to finish. The cover ups really get the viewer frustrated with the need to see resolution. I'm not good at staying up late but was up until midnight finishing this.

This is a well made and detailed investigation into how crime labs utterly failed in their duty, aided by prosectutors and then a coverup was attempted which included judges and even the attourney generals office. How anybody has any faith at all in American justice, purely on this and many other Netflix documentaries evidence is beyond me.

I watched this all in one sitting and enjoyed it thoroughly. This is NOT a politically charged documentary. It is fair and balanced and paints a balanced picture of the many parties involved. The movie is not strongly advocating for criminal justice reform, it is simply advocating for justice and truth. It also touches on addiction and you can see how it affects different populations in different ways. The chemists are sentenced less than some of the thousands of people they helped put behind bars. They documentary fails to explore how drug use impacts because across socioeconomic lines. They could have delved even deeper into the context of the war on drugs and the effects it has had overwhelming the criminal justice system. I personally think it could have been longer to provide more of this context. I could have watched even more on the two fraudulent chemists as well. Very interesting if you enjoy learning about the criminal justice system, fraud, or drugs.
