Nearly 8,000 criminal convictions have been called into question after the New Jersey State Police suspended a lab technician for allegedly recording a phony test result on a sample of suspected marijuana.
According to the state Attorney General’s Office, prosecutors will be notifying defense attorneys whose clients were prosecuted based on lab tests performed by technician Kamalkant Shah, a 10-year veteran of the New Jersey State Police Laboratory in Little Falls who was suspended in January for allegedly logging a test result without actually performing the required test. In cases that are still pending, the Attorney General’s Office said only that “State Police are working with prosecutors to address any potential issues in connection with those cases.”
