## Resource

What does a criminal defense investigator do when the facts don't support the defense? In Episode 7 of The Angry PI, veteran private investigator Alex Chilton examines the Karmelo Anthony case and the murder of Austin Metcalf from the perspective of someone who spent years investigating criminal defense cases. Alex discusses self-defense investigations, identifying the aggressor, proportional response, confirmation bias, and why investigators can't allow an attorney's theory or a client's story to dictate where an investigation leads. The episode also examines the case of former Colorado Bureau of Investigation forensic scientist Yvonne "Missy" Woods and the massive fallout surrounding her handling of DNA evidence across more than a thousand potentially impacted criminal cases. Topics include: • The Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf case • Self-defense investigations • Criminal defense investigation strategy • Confirmation bias • The investigator-attorney relationship • When a criminal case isn't defensible • Client dishonesty • DNA evidence and forensic investigations • The Missy Woods forensic scandal • Why investigators must follow facts, not theories The Angry PI is hosted by veteran private investigator Alex Chilton.
