Former Colorado DNA Analyst Pleads Guitly to Manipulating Evidence

This doesn't seem to be the situation we've seen in the past of an "expert" altering test results to secure a conviction.

This woman deleted DNA evidence in rape cases.

She pled guilty to four counts of falsifying evidence to influence a public official but she was actually accused of 1,003 of deliberate alterations.

Former Colorado DNA analyst pleads guilty to manipulating data in agreement with prosecutors

A former DNA analyst with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation changed her plea to guilty in court on Tuesday to four charges, as part of an agreement in which prosecutors dropped 100 other counts she was facing.
Yvonne "Missy" Woods reached a plea agreement with prosecutors after she was accused of mishandling or manipulating data in dozens of criminal investigations, casting doubt on many cases in which she was involved. She pleaded guilty to one count each of cybercrime, perjury, attempt to influence a public servant and forgery.
...
Woods agreed to a stipulated sentence of between eight and 16 years of prison as part of the guilty plea agreement.
...
CBI said it launched an investigation into over 1,000 cases in which Woods had some sort of involvement. The agency said it looked at cases from 1994 to 2023, when she was placed on administrative leave and then retired.
According to an arrest affidavit, investigators said Woods intentionally left DNA samples out of tests or reports and sometimes would test samples until the results showed what she wanted....

Investigators alleged that Woods deleted some findings of what are called "specific values" in more than 30 sexual assault cases. She was accused of submitting reports that said no male DNA was found, when there was, in fact, male DNA or possible contamination that should have been retested.
Woods worked at CBI's Denver regional laboratory in Lakewood until the facility moved to Arvada in 2016, where she worked until she retired in 2023.

Her shoddy work resulted in a convicted murderer going free. I don't know if he was actually innocent and framed, or if this woman's incompetence freed a guilty man.

A Colorado man convicted of murder over a decade ago in Boulder was released from prison in April 2025 after his lawyers say DNA evidence in the case was mishandled by Woods. Michael Clark spent 12 years behind bars but always maintained his innocence in the 1994 murder of Marty Grisham.
The district attorney in Boulder, Michael Dougherty, says the DNA evidence wasn't the only problem with the case.
"The Clark case I look at somewhat differently, because in addition to the concerns we had about Missy Wood's involvement, we also had really significant concerns about juror misconduct, also ineffective assistance of counsel," said Dougherty. "But there are other cases where the DNA evidence played a really important role, and the misconduct by Missy Woods had an incredibly damaging effect on our ability to do justice for the case. And it's caused us to revisit different cases and open old wounds for victims and their families, and that's true in offices around the metro area."
...
"She doctored testing results to avoid testing," pointed out Jud Lohnes, an attorney with the Korey Wise Innocence Project at CU Boulder Law. "And that has a dramatic effect on both defendants and victims. Defendants who may have been deprived of DNA testing that could have proved their innocence, and victims of crimes who, whose cases may have withered on the vine because she didn't conduct the DNA testing that could have brought the true perpetrator to justice."

This account says that she deleted DNA results not to swing an investigation one way or the other, but just because she was lazy and didn't want to do the additional steps needed if she admitted there was DNA present.

The bureau's investigation revealed that Woods' misconduct impacted a total of 1,003 cases. A second internal affairs investigation report, which says Woods admitted to purposefully deleting data, states she omitted facts in criminal justice records and tampered with DNA testing by altering or omitting test results from case files.
According to the CBI's investigation report, an intern found an anomaly in Woods' past DNA work during a research project on sex assault kits, which triggered the internal affairs investigation.
According to the 35-page arrest affidavit, Woods admitted to investigators that she deleted data in some cases to avoid taking additional steps. This included reporting she had not found male DNA in several sexual assault cases, despite having found small amounts.
Woods admitted she purposefully deleted data, according to an internal affairs investigation conducted by a team in Kansas. That investigation found she omitted facts in criminal justice records and tampered with DNA testing by altering or omitting test results from the case file. The internal affairs investigation did not find evidence Woods falsified DNA matches, but instead that she deviated from standard testing protocols.

This woman should receive the same sentence that everyone else did who was innocent and spent time behind bars, simultaneously. Pure evil. pic.twitter.com/9XfHqP3U3z

I thought at the time that *maybe* it was "for" as in what happened "before"?? But that was a guess.

Turns out it's the same "for" as forum. As in forensics was to be a *public* examination at trial. I find it fascinating.

66 The dirty little secret about DNA testing is that it's not nearly as accurate as it's portrayed in the cop shows.

Yes, it's deadly accurate if it's all done right, from proper collection, to storage, to testing, to reporting the results. It's not hard to get contamination or for one of these steps to be duck-fucked.

It's also not hard, as we've seen, for the process to get corrupted by human assholes who want to generate a certain result.

As I look at it, only the Lord knew how unhinged Man could become "going it on his own".

To us moderns and semi-moderns, it's almost like the lack of necessity of it going this way is almost a shield against it happening.

But that's not how necessity works.

It's like the atheist argument that there is nothing that atheism requires or implies other than a lack of a belief in God. History is shaped by the forces that shape it.

It doesn't matter that atheism is not constrained by simple disbelief in any one direction, but that does not mean that absent a faith in God there aren't other forcers.

85 The dirty little secret about DNA testing is that it's not nearly as accurate as it's portrayed in the cop shows.

Yes, it's deadly accurate if it's all done right, from proper collection, to storage, to testing, to reporting the results. It's not hard to get contamination or for one of these steps to be duck-fucked.

Yes, and the jury doesn't know any of that. All they hear is "DNA evidence proves..." and they're mentally out the door. The DNA, which is platinum standard truth and fact, settled the case. We're done here.

95 I don't recall seeing this important SCOTUS case discussed yesterday...and it somewhat relates to the justice system!

Supreme Court, 6-3: Prison guards who forcibly shaved a Rastafarian inmate's head can't be sued for damages. Damon Landor is a Rastafarian whose faith requires that his hair go uncut. Near the end of a Louisiana sentence, he handed intake officers a copy of binding Fifth Circuit precedent holding that RLUIPA bars prisons from cutting Rastafarians' hair; he alleges the officers threw it in the trash and shaved his head anyway. He sued the officers personally for damages. The Court held his suit cannot proceed: because RLUIPA rests on Congress's spending power, it works like a contract, binding only those who voluntarily agree to its terms. Louisiana's prison system accepted federal funds and agreed to answer RLUIPA suits — but the individual officers signed no such agreement, so they cannot be held personally liable.

I don’t care enough to dig deeper and form an opinion...I just like the idea of guards trashing some BS "exemption" and shaving some dirty rasta felon's hair.

Somebody robbed a bank, and my dad was walking down to City Hall to file a construction permit. They picked him up because he matched the description of the robber. 5'8", wearing an OD green jacket..... Just like everyone else.

154 This account says that she deleted DNA results not to swing an investigation one way or the other, but just because she was lazy and didn't want to do the additional steps needed if she admitted there was DNA present.

I don't think it's a denomination. I don't know of any denomination that I could recommend--especially as a non-denominationalist since I said "Yes".

I just meditate on the Lord and Man, and try to learn more scripture and apply more scripture as an "overlay" to learning about the world.

Let's dispose of the idea of basing your life on Christian say-so. But let's suppose that Western Civilization was built by the Holy Spirit, working ages with men who at least had a portion of an ear to hear him.

Western Civilization is basecamp to the full understanding of God, but it's principles are demonstrably "higher" than non-Christian cultures, even though many elements in other cultures are not by necessity worse.

187 God is the pinnacle. We may never get there. I venture to say we probably never will. That will perhaps ever be part of our relationship.

But, I believe--from what I have experienced--that there are always higher rungs on which we can stand.

I reject the "glory" term of Calvinism because it narrows down the fullness of scripture.

Scripture: God wishes no man to perish.
Calvinism: People were chosen from the beginning for His Wrath "for His Glory".

If the Calvinist principle is pressed too hard, that's a different person! And Calvinism appeals to me as simplification so that I can claim to have a closer to equal understanding to God, rather than remain open to his lifting.

Great, let NYC pick them up and park them wherever in the city. Then arrest them, and Mamdani as he's providing sanctuary for them, against the law.

Keep him on ice (SWIDT) as a flight risk until the case is resolved. Make his confinement "uncomfortable" in a federal facility with no A/C or running water. Maybe park a few Haitians in his cell with him. That'd be fun.

Hillary got a (highly likely) rapist off because the state had lost the sample as I recall.

Apparently none of these defense attorney's really believed their client was innocent and paid for independent testing. Were all of the convictions of people who couldn't pony up money to have indedendent testing done.

Mamdani announced a few months ago he would confiscate slumlord properties.

Then yesterday he announces a rent control freeze. And how do you create more slumlord properties? Freeze the rents but not the expenses.

I'm going to guess that once the city takes over a property and then hands it over to a friendly commie NGO, they'll get a special "rent adjust".

I don't know for sure, but I guess that there is a SCOTUS case that says a rent control is not a takings.

But, I'll bet this duffus is doing it stupid enough to push the issue back to SCOTUS.

Do you know how delicious it'd be to see rent control ruled a takings?

I'm not sure I'd call her a scientist. More like a technician. Minimal education required.

Somebody mentioned her repeated testing to get a specific outcome as evidence of an agenda. Maybe it was preliminary testing to see if DNA were present, and she wanted a negative result so she wouldn't have to do a full test. So, lazy.

That is an issue for anyone involved in self defense. State labs often do shoddy work and to best counteract state's evidence, it often requires the defense to have its own expert witnesses plus the money to have independent labs check the state lab results. Gun shot residue, GSR, is one of the ways that you can crosscheck distance from the shooting and positions of the shooter and the shootee. Same with blood splatter analysis.

You run into this in complicated motor vehicle cases as well. Immediate relative was a top criminal defense lawyer and the particular case involved made Dateline back in the day. Took a family 600k to keep their kid out of prison which took a three person team of lawyers, dna checking of a condom wrapper that the police did not check at the scene of the murder and sexual assault, and a private investigator to point out the likely culprit lived in the same apartment complex and had been sent to the state pen for a similar crime but was out.

But see, I started out a complete rebel (perhaps minimalist) in my faith. And I believe the Holy Spirit has continually brought me onto plateaus of greater insight into the Lord.

I don't know if it's because I took the advice not to LEAN on my own understanding, and simply, once chastened enough by the HS, let God be God.

Jonah knew things about God, but his end is that he refused to learn what God was trying to teach him at that point. He wanted Jonah to get his point about the Ninivites being "children" who do not know what is right. And Jonah preferred to stir in his hatred of the Ninivites.

Jonah knew that the Lord was forgiving. He hated the Ninivites so much that he did not want to be part of a plan of the Lord's "reconsideration" of the destruction of Nineveh.

Juror #4, a woman named Bryana from Lompoc, Calif., told The California Post that she felt the government didn’t present a convincing enough case and wasted jurors’ time.

“It’s disappointing because of how much money and time they put into the same thing. I don’t know … but like, yeah, bullsh–t,” she said.

282 The article was real vague as to this woman's motive. It mentions "to avoid testing" but I did notice that the guy that she apparently railroaded for murder was a white guy. Is she yet another AWFL that saw herself as a crusader to keep black people out of prison, regardless of the evidence?

Most of these people were already informed that TPS was ending before the lawsuit was filed. The Feds know who they are and where they are. I can’t even think what you could file to delay that removal at this point. Asylum claims and any other similar motion are pretty much moot points now.

They should take the money go home and file an application for legal immigration.

From time to time, I like to remind folks that Thomas has been waiting for near 30 years to overturn the Slaughterhouse Case, that one goes back to the 1920s.

287 Jonah knew that the Lord was forgiving. He hated the Ninivites so much that he did not want to be part of a plan of the Lord's "reconsideration" of the destruction of Nineveh.

"I know you" is a curious key in scripture.

The destruction was only delayed...by 80 years.

Which is likely what would happen with a commercial lab because of lawsuits but state and its agents (qualified for the agents) are mostly protected by sovereign immunity.

Quality is the same hodge podge as government schools.

SciVo explained, she was plain slacking off. If the sample doesn't have reliable DNA, you don't have to do the much more difficult and time-consuming work of confirming or not confirming a match. So, she just deleted samples or effed with them until they "couldn't" be read.

Jonah says it when the Lord asks him to prophesy the destruction of Nineveh.

Abram says it when he pleads for the sake of the denizens of Sodom and Gomorrah.

In almost all cases, the person with a personal relationship with God says "I know you" expressing God's sense of lovingkindness and longsuffering and capacity to forebear.

Not only that it's easy to retest and verify lineage. Today, tomorrow, whenever. Crime scene evidence OTOH is province of the state.

297 The one takeaway I have from Job is that it is human nature is to say "well if God is letting bad things happen to you, you must deserve it somehow" (that is what Job's senior friends are saying) and that that is not so.
Posted by: PaleRider at June 26, 2026 03:25 PM (PV+Zw)

What I always found interesting about the story of Job is even at the end of the book when Job’s wealth has been restored and he’s been given a new family… God never gives Job an explanation of why it all happened. In fact, Job kinda asks and God’s answer is (I paraphrase): don’t question me, I’m God and you’re not. See Job chapters 38-41
