A FORMER COLORADO DNA ANALYST WHO ALTERED TEST RESULTS WAS SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON.

More than a thousand cases were touched.

Yvonne “Missy” Woods, 66, a former Colorado Bureau of Investigation DNA analyst, was sentenced Tue Sep. 8, 2026, to 10 years in the Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to cybercrime, perjury, forgery, and attempt to influence a public servant. She was taken into custody at the hearing in Jefferson County.

Prosecutors said she altered or deleted DNA values between 2008 and 2023 — sometimes reporting “no male DNA” when DNA was present — and that the misconduct impacted more than 1,000 cases. The scandal shook Colorado’s forensics system for years before the sentence landed.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Maurice Hastings, who spent 38 years behind bars, was awarded $25 million in what his lawyers called the largest wrongful conviction settlement in state history.

Hastings, 72, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole in connection with the 1983 sexual assault and murder of a woman in Inglewood. In 2023, a judge ruled that Hastings was "factually innocent," which means the evidence proves conclusively that Hastings did not commit the crime. https://abc7.com/17873244/
