A former Colorado Bureau of Investigation forensic analyst pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony charges after authorities accused her of manipulating DNA testing records, triggering a sweeping review of hundreds of criminal cases and raising questions about the reliability of evidence used in prosecutions across the state.
Yvonne “Missy” Woods admitted guilt to four felony counts, including cybercrime, perjury, attempting to influence a public servant and forgery. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed dozens of additional charges.
