The episode discusses the sentencing of Yvonne “Missy” Woods for manipulating DNA evidence in numerous cases.
After pleading guilty to four felonies in June, a Jefferson County judge sentenced former Colorado Bureau of Investigation scientist Yvonne “Missy” Woods to 10 years in prison this week. Woods was accused of deleting, omitting, and falsifying data related to DNA investigations in more than 1,000 cases across the state, including dozens related to sexual assault.
