One chemistry professor received four month prison sentence for producing the drug in a university lab, while another was acquitted
Almost exactly two years after a pair of chemistry professors at Henderson State University (HSU) in Arkansas, US were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine in an on-campus lab, the case has concluded. A jury found one of the men, Terry Bateman, not guilty in late October, while the other defendant, Bradley Rowland, pleaded guilty on 5 November and was sentenced to 120 days in jail and six years of supervised probation. He will also be required to pay HSU nearly $150,000 (£112,000) in restitution to compensate for cleaning and repair costs.
