Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley says 300 to 500 people could be released from custody in his jurisdiction because their cases have been tainted by the state drug lab scandal.

"We may be in the position to assent to the release of some pretty dangerous people into the city," he told reporters this morning.
