Though frequently reposted, this story is a fascinating look at a horrible problem. Harris County used these faulty field tests and huge bail demands to coerce 300 innocent people into making plea deals. The guy in the mugshot could have been one of them, but his father was a physician and he could afford a lawyer to bargain down the bail to $50k, and then he could pay the $5k (10%) bond fee to get out of jail. Even so, he spent days in jail with no bunk to sleep on and nothing but peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches to eat. After being exonerated, he faced a greatly diminished business income as a result of his soiled reputation. I haven't found mention of a compensation lawsuit.
