Colorado public defenders demand more transparency in investigation into DNA scientist

9NEWS: Public defenders believe the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) isn’t being transparent enough about a former DNA scientist now under criminal investigation. CBI says Yvonne “Missy” Woods manipulated data in more than 600 cases.

District Attorneys have said CBI shared a list of cases in their area that could be impacted. The Office of the State Public Defender (OSPD) said they don’t have a full list.

CBI denied their open records request for the list of cases, according to Chief Deputy Public Defender Zach Brown. He said several district attorneys have shared case numbers with his office, but Brown said the list OSPD has compiled on their own is incomplete.
