There were quite a few problems with the investigation, an appeals judge said. Here are some of the major red flags

The Marion County crime lab’s decision to stop testing evidence believed to be marijuana stems from an Indiana Court of Appeals opinion from earlier this year that overturned a woman’s marijuana conviction in Hamilton County because of a lack of evidence.as the justification for why it was no longer performing testing on cannabis, or providing its chemists to testify that evidence is marijuana., was sent to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office and the Marion County Public Defender Agency.

The woman was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors of possession of marijuana and a misdemeanor of possession of paraphernalia. Carmel police found through their own analysis that the products contained THC. But they weren't equipped to determine how much THC.And authorities didn't send the material for further testing because “the level of crime charged did not justify the expense of the additional testing,” according to testimony in the case.

Mathias also wrote the cannabis products’ packaging wasn’t enough, either, because some of it didn’t provide “a detailed analysis of the products’ chemical compositions.”
