Ind. Courts - "IU audit: 1 in 3 cocaine tests in criminal cases bad"

Looking forward to reading the full story in the Indy Star tomorrow. Tim Evans reports this afternoon that:

Nearly one of every three cocaine tests conducted for criminal cases by the Indiana Department of Toxicology from 2007-2009 were bad, according to audit results released today by Indiana University.

The findings follow the release in April of audit results that revealed a 10 percent error rate in marijuana tests during the same period. * * *

The audit will now move to alcohol tests results from 2007-2009, which MacIntyre said will include the largest number of tests to be reviewed.
