Ritter Announces DNA Task Force
Gov. Bill Ritter has launched a task force to explore how criminal evidence is collected and preserved in Colorado and whether practices used elsewhere in the country should be embraced here.
A "working group" will be created in tandem with the Colorado District Attorney's Council and State. Rep. Cheri Jahn, who has pledged to pursue a strong DNA preservation statute to enforce retention of forensic specimens in major crimes.
The board, whose members and structure have yet to be hashed out, will take an even more expansive review to study how evidence is collected and analyzed, according to a press statement. It also will develop findings in time for the next legislative session.
"It's extremely important that the people of Colorado feel confident in their criminal justice system and how that system handles DNA evidence," Ritter said in a statement.

Yes, Ritter, it is important to have trust in our judicial system. However, the people of Colorado do not trust the judicial system because it is corrupt, with people who only want to fill their pockets with money, from the police, to the judges, to the lawyers, to your VERY corrupt department of "corrections" and pointless parole board.
