Overview
- Boulder District Court Chief Judge Nancy W. Salomone denied access to records from the first 48 hours of the JonBenét Ramsey investigation sought by Michael Clark’s defense.
- Salomone said the material could unduly influence jurors and offered little relevant evidence, describing the request as a "worm can."
- Clark’s attorney, Adam Frank, had issued 12 subpoenas that also sought CBI DNA-testing policies and data on invalid or undetermined results from 2009 to 2011.
- The Boulder County District Attorney’s Office moved to void all 12 subpoenas and challenged the relevance of the Ramsey-related records to the Grisham case.
- Clark’s 2012 conviction in Marty Grisham’s killing was vacated in April after new DNA testing conflicted with earlier results tied to former CBI scientist Yvonne “Missy” Woods, and a jury trial is scheduled for May.
