St. Paul crime lab under investigation

The St. Paul Police Department crime lab has been forced to suspend drug testing after allegations that the lab does not follow written procedure when testing for illegal drugs - a move that some say may have comprised evidence.

Court records now also show that at least one Dakota County prosecutor had known about the problem for almost four months.

Pam King, assistant state public defender, joins The Daily Circuit to talk about case.
