Authorities have charged a former Colorado-based crime lab analyst with more than 100 criminal counts over allegations that she altered reports in cases of sexual assault.
On Tuesday, a Colorado district attorney, Alexis King, announced that Yvonne “Missy” Woods was charged with 102 counts related to 58 instances of alleged criminal misconduct between 2008 and 2023 during her career as a lab analyst for the state’s bureau of investigation.
The counts against Woods include cybercrime, perjury in the first degree, attempts to influence a public servant and forgery.
Woods allegedly altered and deleted quantification values, reran entire batches of DNA multiple times without any documentation and concealed possible contamination, according to investigators.
Additionally, in more than 30 sexual assault cases, Woods has been accused of deleting specific values in samples and submitted reports to agencies that reflected, “No Male DNA Found”, when small amounts of male DNA or possible contamination were actually present – and additional troubleshooting as well as retesting was required.
I’m sure if we went around the country, we could finds thousands of cases that were altered to help convict people. The “ justice” system is a farce. It’s a business like any other.
It is bad enough CO has other issues when it comes to sex assault and registry matters as witnessed over the years through postings here, this dame makes a mockery of the legal system with her own brand of justice through her work. There has to be more to this. Others pressuring her to do this from the state or the judicial districts? How deep does this go? Was she rogue? Maybe she should register as a bad state employee?
