My son had a UA 4 months ago in jail and they said it was positive. Today he went to court for a statis hearing. they said that the sample hasn't been sent into the lab to see the ng content. When he took the test they also never sealed it in front of him nor showed him the results just told him it failed for THC. Does anyone know if this is what they can do lawfully and if that sample is still the same as when he gave it? It was in the bargaining they wanted.

I see I have left out some that you need to help answer my question.He was in jail for back child support payments when they tested him for drugs because his girlfriend showed up with meth when she was having their 2nd baby.We don't know that or where they stored it for the past 4 months. The Plea Bargain was he had to pay child support payment for next year without missing one on his 1st 2 kids and it would go to mis. or send sample in if fails gets the felony and goes to drug court which cps already has him in to get his 2 youngest kids back that i have until they complete cps requires(which if he screws that up he loses these 2) if it comes back under a limit it will all be dropped.His attorney was the public def, and when we weren't understanding everything completely he said he explained it and had a lot more people to do and said you want to litegate then.He walked into court room, then came back with court date.Support is changing to he doesn't know how much and a yr who knows

You make a point that his attorney should challenge: the chain of custody; legitimacy of the test;etc.
However, you say " hasn't been sent into the lab"..."told him it failed for THC". Obviously, some testing had to be done. Simply because he didn't witness it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
What bargaining? Plea bargaining? Where's your attorney? Do you have a toxicology expert? It may be worth it dependent upon what a conviction would be.
I'm not a toxicologist, but I know THC stays in the hair for 90 days - If the urine was refrigerated, frozen, etc., I doubt the chemical compounds found within it would change (there actually was a show about freezing urine recently and that it did not change the compounds it contained, but no way to know from your question how it was stored).
However, if he smoked the weed, isn't it just a misdemeanor? And if he did so, why doesn't he take responsibility for his actions as opposed to attempt to beat the system?

piss on it-their just doing big brother and it is not going to change by fear or fight or flight, they win and they win it is a no win situation~~by the time you think out what is going on they already knew what they were going to do before and again and again to everyone, there's no way to be in a bargaining system and do anything but what they want, and they'll tell you, it has and will be hell so they can say they did their job trying to change and promote fear of them, they call it deferring new problems, when he get out there will be happy times but til then they keep screwing you around til u have a heart attack just cause they can
