Depriving students of access to books in their school library because of the board’s disagreement with the ideas in them violates both the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Free Speech Clause of the Colorado Constitution.

Since 2014, CBI allowed Woods to alter forensic evidence. 809 impacted cases have been identified so far. Defendants may have lost the only evidence proving their factual innocence. Victims that endured invasive forensic exams may have lost their chance to identify perpetrators.
