Colorado Man Accepts Plea Deal in Murders Linked to DNA Analyst Misconduct

Garrett Coughlin avoids life sentence in 2017 Boulder killings due to compromised evidence by former CBI scientist.

Garrett Coughlin pleads guilty to second-degree murder in the deaths of Wallace White, Kelly Sloat-White, and Emory Fraker.
Former CBI analyst Yvonne Woods accused of manipulating DNA evidence, impacting hundreds of cases.
Coughlin's original conviction overturned due to juror misconduct; plea deal offered partly due to Woods' compromised work.
Woods allegedly deleted DNA data and manipulated test results, raising credibility issues in multiple cases.
Victims' families express frustration over the justice system's failure to hold Coughlin fully accountable.
