A York County lawyer is fighting state officials for access to records on how the Maine crime lab operates, including those concerning a technician who quit while the state was pursuing disciplinary action.
Amy Fairfield said she’s seeking in-depth records on the operations of the Maine State Police Crime Laboratory because scientific evidence, particularly DNA analysis, has become a critical and sometimes deciding part of criminal court cases. She said Mainers should have more information on how the state’s sole criminal laboratory analyzes evidence.

In addition to Liberty, who was convicted of campaign finance violations in 2016, Trump also commuted the sentence of an Aroostook County man, Michael Pelletier, who was serving life in prison for running a marijuana smuggling operation.
