I'm curious what percentage of testing goes through that lab.

She did a lot more tests than her coworkers, and it was a big lab. She also had close ties to prosecutors, which has unsettling implications.

This is a good question. I think most cities have one lab. They probably have multiple analysts in the lab, but I think it's still a pretty high percentage of the total cases.

sadly, no, most cities don't have their own tox/drug chemistry lab. there are entire states with just 1 lab.

i'm not familiar with massachusetts, but i wouldn't be surprised if most of the relevant testing for the state was going through there.

Another travesty of monoculture.
