That's sad, but there doesn't appear to be any wrongdoing on the part of the officers.

The arresting officers may not have been at fault but there's clearly something wrong with a system that keeps someone in jail for 3 months because of an inability to expeditiously conduct what amounts to some pretty basic chemical testing. Also, it is inexcusable to keep someone imprisoned for 2 weeks after the test in question reveals that the substance in question was not actually meth. Somewhere along the line there were clearly multiple failures with either the police and/or the prosecutor's office.

Except for, like, the entire case. I wonder if you'd say the same if it happened to you?
