The Dakota Scout has learned that the DCI is examining the scientist’s work on various cases that may have been impacted by the alleged misconduct. The probe is focusing on determining the extent of the alterations and how they may have affected the outcomes of criminal investigations.
The scientist in question has not been named, but sources suggest that the individual had a significant role in analyzing evidence in multiple high-profile cases in Colorado. The allegations have raised concerns about the integrity of the forensic evidence presented in these cases and the potential impact on the criminal justice system.
