Missy Woods heads to court, social media bill inspired by Evergreen shooting, UMS reborn

The former state lab scientist accused of mishandling years of DNA evidence is set to appear before a judge for her long-delayed arraignment Wednesday — raising questions about justice for victims whose cases were affected. Then, the shooting at Evergreen High School is fueling a push to force social media companies to respond more quickly when law enforcement investigates online threats. Plus, last year was supposed to be the last year for the Underground Music Showcase, but the festival now plans to continue, in a different part of Denver.
