The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says a former DNA scientist cut corners and didn't follow standard testing protocols, raising questions about hundreds of criminal cases in which she processed evidenceFILE - Yvonne Woods, a lab agent with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, points to a DNA chart during Diego Olmos Alcalde's trial on Monday June 22, 2009 in Boulder, Colo.
Investigators have found 652 cases affected by Woods' data manipulation from 2008 through 2023, the agency said. They're still reviewing additional work dating back to 1994. While the investigation found Woods deviated from standard protocols, "she has long maintained that she's never created or falsely reported any inculpatory DNA matches or exclusions, nor has she testified falsely in any hearing or trial resulting in a false conviction or unjust imprisonment,” her attorney, Ryan Brackley, said in a statement to The Associated Press on Friday.
