## Statement

A Massachusetts prosecutor was disbarred Thursday after her failure to disclose exculpatory evidence in a drug theft case sowed major doubt in the criminal justice system.

Anne Kaczmarek is the first former member of the Massachusetts attorney general’s office to ever be disbarred. Her [behavior](https://news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and-business/prosecutors-in-tainted-drug-lab-scandal-oppose-bar-discipline) may have impacted thousands of defendants who were convicted on drug charges.

John Verner, a former state prosecutor who supervised Kaczmarek, was publicly reprimanded. Kris Foster, a more junior former prosecutor, was suspended for one year and one day.
