Joseph Ray Burrell, 31, said he isn't happy that it took as long as it did for the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension crime lab's findings to be processed. He said evidence records show about a month passed before prosecutors sent the powder in to be tested and more than a month passed after that before the results were returned.

In the meantime, Burrell sat in jail waiting to go to trial for two felony counts each of third- and fifth-degree drug possession. He was released after the charges were dismissed Feb. 4. His trial was scheduled to start the following day.

I think there would be less cases like this if people that are wrongfully detained receive compensation for their time.

I have worried when taking white powder through customs before, it's always been energy drink powder or protein powder but I guess it would a long time to prove that!

This is the result when police, the judicial, & corrections systems have zero personal liability or accountability. Imagine if that pimply faced kid at McDonalds didn't have any accountability... how many loogies and pubes do you think you would find in your burgers? Every other profession remains liable for their actions, EXCEPT police.

best to not take it now. Better to not take the risk, then spending a month behind the bars to prove them wrong.
