The Legal Show : Canadian Kids – Victims of Science

Attorney Sarah Avraham and writer Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day.
 
The audience should know that although Ms. Avraham is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require.
 
This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.
 
For over a decade, thousands of Canadians received hair test drug analysis results that were outright false from a lab doing business as Motherisk. Their tests were used in more than 16,000 child protection cases as well as six criminal cases that resulted in convictions, although it is unclear how many of those tests were faulty.  How could this possibly happen?  What happened to the science in this?  What is Motherisk guilty of or liable for?  Tune in to the Legal Show to find out.
