A now-former forensic scientist with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation manipulated or omitted DNA test results in hundreds of cases, an internal affairs investigation found, which prompted a full review of her work during her nearly 30-year career at the agency.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser declined to comment on the criminal case against Woods when contacted by CNN on Friday. Brackley said his client has been a "loyal and dedicated forensic scientist" during her time at the agency and has worked with and trained "generations" of prosecutors, scientists and law enforcement agents.
Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty told CNN in a statement his office has identified 15 open cases and 55 closed cases in which Woods has testified as a witness."For the past several months, prosecutors around the state have waited anxiously for information because of the impact on victims, the accused, and our ability to do justice," Dougherty said.
The lawsuit identifies Woods as the lead scientist on his case and alleges Hunter was prosecuted and tried based on fabricated and false evidence.
