## Resource

A former Colorado forensic analyst just pleaded guilty to four felonies for allegedly altering DNA evidence to speed up cases — a scandal now unraveling hundreds of convictions across the state. Her actions, which began in 2018, have forced prosecutors to revisit murder, assault, and robbery cases, leading to overturned convictions, plea deals, and a potential 8- to 16-year sentence. The fallout could cost Colorado over $11 million, prompting sweeping reforms at the Bureau of Investigation as they vow to restore trust in forensic science.
