The Dissenting DEA Chemist
In the trial in Nevada in 2019, it actually looked like they had a shot of winning that case. They were actually feeling pretty good about it because actually to understand the full context of that, we need to bring back into the picture Arthur Barrier,. The dissenting DEA chemist was the one who the judge in Virginia didn't let them call it their trial but that's why their Virginia conviction wound up getting overturned on appeal. In between the time that Barrier was initially testifying for defendants and helping people get acquittals, and the time that he testified for Burton and Ben in Nevada, Barrier himself was arrested and no longer works for the DEA.
