  1. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention in such clear and entertaining way. Thank you for getting all the important points across in such a comprehensive manner that leaves the viewer in possession of all the salient facts. This was staggeringly irresponsible of this woman, whatever her motives! What was she thinking?! Of course she belongs in jail. She may well have believed she was merely speeding inevitable conclusions by cutting corners. But, if just one person was wrongfully convicted on the basis of her incorrect data, she should serve at least as long as her victim has. Then we must take into account the staggering cost to the local tax payers, over $7 million and counting, just to go over all those retests again, and the cost of any retrials and new motions will land on top of that bill. And perhaps, the larger cost of the criminal justice system’s reputation in Colorado, which affects everyone from the DA and police to the Courts and especially their forensic departments! There is a category of crime called, “Culpable Negligence,” which usually only comes up in corporate cases where people have died as a direct result of enforced corner cutting or time saving measures that make proper safety checks impossible. But it clearly applies to her unbelievable arrogance in this case and should be added to the charges! It’s just too big a case and it will cause overhauls of methods and practice, regardless of outcomes, which all costs the tax payer too. And even that only applies to if a jury believes her defence is sincere, that she believed all these people to be guilty anyway: a defence which dies upon the first instance of a person proven to have been wrongfully convicted! For then we must consider if she acted out of malice or spite, in any one or possibly all cases? Or maybe she’ll plead insanity. For only she must have known how crazily reckless she was being with other people’s lives, let alone her department’s reputation and the general reputation of American justice? Of course she belongs in jail. Even if they don’t find one case that contradicts her findings. For the abject chaos she has caused and the irreparable damage she has done to public trust in the criminal justice system! A wilfully selfish and ruthless woman like that doesn’t belong anywhere near decent, free people. Most of all, I feel for any wrongfully convicted prisoners and their families.
