North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper is facing extreme pressure now that he's been handed a blistering report about how blood tests were handled in the state crime lab.
The independent review released this week of the State Bureau of Investigation lab covered 16 years, but only two years in which Cooper has been the state's top prosecutor.
Still, Cooper is the one who must clean up the problems and overcome perceptions that all the lab's work should be questioned. Lawmakers such as Rep. Larry Hall of Durham County said the lab should become a standalone agency to give the public and attorneys confidence in its work. Cooper has been attorney general since 2001.
