Orphan Maker – 

Nov. 19, 2020 – During her sentencing, which the Dothan Eagle was present for, Murrah was confronted by parents who’d lost custody of their children because of drug test results she’d doctored.

According to the Eagle, District Attorney Kirke Adams said that Murrah needed to go to prison because of all the suffering she had caused.

“She has committed a fraud upon the whole court system,” Adams emphasized.

Speaking to the judge prior to sentencing, Murrah acknowledged, “I know I did wrong,” before apologizing for her crimes.

“I’ve done a lot of things wrong in my life,” she told the court. “I’m sorry for anyone I ever hurt. I really did not do this intentionally to ever hurt anyone.”

Murrah was first arrested in 2019 by Ozark Police, on charges she fabricated drug screening results handled by her lab, A&J Lab Collections. She was charged with perjury, the paper reports, after falsely testifying about the drug test results of a father fighting to retain custody of his kids. All of the forgery charges are based on reports she created about tests that were never conducted.
