According to an arrest affidavit, investigators said Woods intentionally left DNA samples out of tests or reports and sometimes would test samples until the results showed what she wanted. CBI asked the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation to conduct an outside investigation into the case since it involved one of its own employees.

Are Women are getting crazier these days or is it just me?

Do the prosecutors get paid bonuses for convictions, as opposed to just prosecuting?
A prosecutor that gets a conviction on a case has “won” the case. Outside of just being competitive and wanting to be good at your job a higher “win percentage” makes a lawyer look better when going up for a performance review/promotion/raise/a job at a bigger firm.

I wouldn’t think so but I’m not talking about “bonuses”. I’m talking about kickbacks/payoffs. I’m not sure why that would be unbelievable. Prosecutors are human and can be just as dirty as anyone else. Especially those trying to make a name for themselves.

This crap happens more than anyone realizes! Even here in KY we got corruption. My lawyer (Cousin Elmer Davis) is suing the Jackson County sheriff's dept over using CHINESE made breathalyzers! They busted me with it and claim I blew a 1.6 but we're arguring it uses Chinese measurements and I only had a BAC of 1.2 in AMERICAN perfectly legal to drive.

Is my reading comprehension not working? To me, this sounds like she was trying to get sex offenders off.

From the article-"Investigators alleged that Woods deleted some findings of what are called "specific values" in more than 30 sexual assault cases. She was accused of submitting reports that said no male DNA was found when there was, in fact, male DNA or possible contamination that should have been retested."

Realistically, all cases requiring DNA should come from two labs.

When you accept that human beings are fallible and corruptible you'll stop being surprised. The vast majority of people do their best to live and work honestly. But there are plenty like this one.
Well said. Sadly, when we place expectations on others we set ourselves up for disappointment. Control what u can control and be grateful.
