Former Colorado Bureau of Investigation analyst Yvonne Woods sentenced to 10 years for DNA data manipulation.

Yvonne "Missy" Woods, a former forensic analyst for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to perjury, attempting to influence a public servant, forgery, and committing a cybercrime. Her manipulation of DNA data led to the review of hundreds of criminal cases, the vacation of at least one murder conviction, and lesser plea deals in two homicide cases. State officials estimate the response costs will exceed $11 million.
