Most likely they assume you’re guilty when you choose your right to remain silent. So should we do the same?

Michigan state police remain silent on marijuana testing debacle while critics call for change.

March 28, 2019, is the date Michigan state police say CBD became legal in Michigan.

While the mystery behind what led Michigan state police forensic scientists to produce thousands of faulty marijuana blood test results lingers, multiple criminal defense attorneys who spoke with MLive are calling for a new way of doing things.

They believe the science that produces data at the center of criminal prosecution should be unbiased and independent of law enforcement influence. They want police out of the the forensic testing business and they’re using the latest THC blood testing debacle to justify their stance.

Komorn Law has been the leading law firm bringing awareness to the public about alleged lab scandals they come across or uncover through client representation. If you need your case reviewed or you have a current charge regarding anything to do with marijuana there is no better versed or more knowledgeable than Attorney Michal Komorn.

Michael Komorn, a Farmington Hills-based attorney who also specializes in marijuana law and criminal defense, said the issue could call into questions thousands of convictions across the state, depending on how long the problem has continued.

He’s calling for a full independent investigation into the state police crime lab and the creation of a lab that operates independently from the police force.

Komorn said blood test findings for marijuana are frequently used as a basis to prosecute driving offenses, especially when alcohol isn’t detected, including crashes that result in serious injury or death.

“I think that it’s time to get a new lab,” Komorn said. “Because the procedures and protocols that are being used here, if they’re wrong and unscientific and they’ve been convicting people wrongly because their tests are wrong, I think a criminal investigation should be opened. I think people should be held accountable.”
