Have You Been Affected By the Compromised Marijuana Testing? Geherin Law Group Can Help You!

MSP recently dropped a major bombshell on the criminal justice community: They revealed that their chemical blood testing analysis for THC was badly compromised between March 2019 and August 2022.

Obviously, Michigan prosecutors and police may resist efforts to vacate convictions. They might argue that other evidence supports the conviction (i.e., poor driving, failures on Standardized Field Sobriety Tests).  However, judges may be less than sympathetic to these arguments knowing the police lab analysis was faulty and was prone to false positives. Finding a skilled, successful OWI Defense Attorney to fight for their rights certainly might be the difference between a clean record and the status quo. This is especially pronounced for people who suffered a loss of license, or loss of freedom, due to an OWI Marijuana conviction during this time period.

Michigan State Police Drops a Bombshell About Compromised Marijuana Testing in OWI/DUI Cases

MSP recently dropped a major bombshell on the criminal justice community: They revealed that their chemical blood testing analysis for THC was badly compromised between March 2019 and August 2022. MSP revealed that their testing failed to distinguish between the illegal properties of THC and the legal property of CBD (Cannabidiol). CBD was legalized in Michigan back in March 2019.  Now, MSP found that their testing may have resulted in CBD being converted to THC during lab analysis, leading to inaccurate results and “false positives.”  

For those Michigan drivers who were arrested, prosecuted and possibly convicted (by plea or by trial) of OWI/Marijuana in the 3 ½ years (March 2019 to August 2022) affected, what do they do? For starters, they might want to contact an experienced DUI/OWI defense attorney about relief in the form of a plea withdrawal, a removal of conviction, or motion for new trial.
