FILE - In this Tuesday Jan. 22, 2013, file photo, Sonja Farak, left, stands during her arraignment at Eastern Hampshire District Court in Belchertown, Mass. A petition is asking the highest court in Massachusetts to dismiss every case connected to Farak, a former state chemist who authorities said was high almost every day she went to work at a state drug lab for eight years. The state's public defender agency is a party to the petition filed Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2017, before the Supreme Judicial Court by two women whose drug possession convictions are tied to evidence handled by chemist Farak. Farak pleaded guilty in 2014 to stealing cocaine from the lab. (Don Treeger/The Republican via AP, File)
