Colorado has launched a criminal probe into its star forensic analyst Yvonne 'Missy' Woods after 'anomalies' were found in her DNA testing work.

Woods, 60, is under investigation for allegedly performing shoddy DNA testing and altering data. Her work and testimonies have sent hundreds of people to jail over her three-decade career - and now thousands of cases may have to be reopened.

She has worked in her trade for 29 years, and was considered the state's 'gold standard' by colleagues for helping to put infamous murderers behind bars.

The shocking discovery was made in November, when the Colorado Bureau of Investigation performed an internal review and found that some of her crucial data was altered or missing. Woods, 60, abruptly resigned.

Another 'strong and powerful' woman who wanted to prove she was a tough on crime as any man.

“Investigators said to date, there have not been any DNA evidence that was inaccurate,”

and the cover-up begins.

This is like the the woman in Massachusetts who was caught faking drug tests for the state police and was a drug addict herself.

And the other one also in Massachusetts.

Anarcho-tyranny incoming in Colorado...

[Spok]

Stupid people always refer to those who validate their idiotic ideas as “experts” whose pronouncements are infallible and sacrosanct and cannot be challenged, even by their peers. This is how the environmentalists try to legitimizer their dogma.. This woman was almost certainly recognized as such an “expert”.

[VanShuyten]

There isn’t any evidence that she screwed up, but they have to redo many tests just to make sure, based on “reports”.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sounds like an episode I saw of the Elementary TV series.

bkmk

[sonova]

Yeah, a lone actor. Right! No chance of prosecutorial misconduct from above. No chance.

[tflabo]

Trust all women. Yeah right. My question is why would she falsify DNA records? How does that personally benefit her? It’s rather criminal if proven true.

[PAR35]

I’m wondering if there is a Sorosite behind this.

[roving]

It doesn’t say how many they tested.

[NorthMountain]

Herself:

Repeal 19.

[drSteve78]

That woman in the photo is not sixty.

[Revel]

So much for the idea that DNA always tells the truth. How about requiring more than one lab to do the analysis.

[chaosagent]

According to the article, it looks like most of those photos are from 2009.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Affirmative action at work for you.

[NorthMountain]

That picture accompanies the article at Fox Business ...
