Colorado Politics: The Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Monday that defense attorneys seeking access to withheld information about a former DNA scientist’s misconduct must pursue the data in Jefferson County, where the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is located.

Yvonne “Missy” Woods stands accused of intentionally deleting data, manipulating procedures and compromising criminal evidence in her role as a former CBI employee. She faces 102 felony counts alleging systemic misconduct and is awaiting trial.

So far, CBI acknowledged finding problems in nearly one in 10 of the more than 10,780 cases she worked during her 29-year career at the lab. A Boulder County judge vacated a man’s murder conviction earlier this year based on now-unreliable DNA evidence handled by Woods.
