WELD COUNTY, Colo. — The Weld County District Attorney’s Office will not file charges against a former DNA analyst who was fired after anomalies were found in her work.
In a news release, the spokesperson for the Weld County DA said that in order to prove a criminal charge, prosecutors must not only prove the commission of the criminal act, but also the defendant’s criminal intent.
During the investigation into those anomalies, however, Wuensch “denied intentionally altering or deleting the data, attributing any discrepancies to potential mistakes in using Excel.” “After a comprehensive review of all the evidence and circumstances, it is clear that the anomalies found in Ms. Wuensch’s work do not meet the legal threshold for criminal charges,” Weld County District Attorney Michael Rourke said. “The evidence does not support a finding of criminal intent, and therefore, it would be inappropriate to pursue charges in this matter.”
