CHICAGO (WLS) -- The University of Illinois Chicago has released an internal investigation report into faulty lab testing that has potentially jeopardized more than 1,000 cannabis DUI cases in the Chicago metro area.
Many DUI cases were charged based on results from UIC's Analytical Forensic Testing Laboratory, which ceased human testing in February 2024.
UIC hired Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP to look into and create an independent report into concerns and claims made about testing inaccuracies when measuring THC.
At issue are results that were unable to distinguish Delta-9 THC from other commonly encountered THC isomers such as Delta-8.
The lab had notified police departments and prosecutor's offices in Illinois that there may have been problems with some results.
Criminal defense attorney Don Ramsell, who represents clients charged with cannabis DUI, told the I-Team the report is just a corporate whitewash.
