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.
