“In mid-March we were notified by the Office of Alcohol Testing that there was
an issue with breath tests given to several identified defendants in Middlesex County. We have notified defense attorneys in those active cases and we are in the process of contacting attorneys in identified disposed cases.

Last Wednesday, April 15, we met with representatives of the State Police and they informed us that the problem may go beyond those isolated cases. As a result of this additional information, conscious always of our obligation to ensure that the integrity of our evidence be above reproach and in an abundance of caution, I have instructed Assistant District Attorneys in my office to suspend the use of breath test results in operating under the influence cases until further notice.”
