Controlled Substance (Drug) Analysis

Controlled Substance (Drug) Analysis Scenario: A husband and wife met in college and they became lawyers in a very political motivated city. After about 15 years of practicing law, the husband ran for superior court judge and was successful. About five years later, his wife ran for circuit court judge and she was also successful in winning the election. The two of them together became a strong force to reckon with when it came down to individuals committing crimes. Both judges tried very controversial cases that involved the selling of illegal drugs and there were even rumors that the wife was taking bribes from questionable individuals in exchange for favorable ruling on some of her cases.

One night after the judges had eaten dinner, someone came in and brutally shot both of them twice in the back of the head. The wounds were determined to be contact wounds and looked to be execution style. In the master bedroom in the closet and underneath the bed, the crime scene investigators found several large bags of containers with a white substance in them. They also found a package wrapped in tape that appeared to have leafy plant-like material in it and a large plastic bag with multiple boxes that had pills that were stamped with multiple designs on them. In addition they also found a bag with multiple balloons that were different in color and tied up with some type of substance in them.
