Police and prosecutors around Virginia will have to change the way they handle marijuana cases after a warning issued late Thursday by the director of the Department of Forensic Science.
Linda Jackson sent a letter to “all agencies serviced by the DFS laboratories” warning that the state labs’ testing capabilities are not sufficient to comply with a new state law.
“It’s important for them to understand what the limitations of our testing are, so that they can make appropriate decisions in the criminal justice system,” Jackson told the I-Team. “I definitely don’t want anyone to go to jail if they were not breaking some law.”
