Michael Clark Murder Defense Seeks to Link Case to JonBenét Investigation 'Mistakes'

Michael Clark, facing a retrial for a 1994 murder, seeks documents that link his case with the infamous 1996 JonBenét Ramsey investigation.

In new legal filings, Clark seeks to link alleged Boulder police missteps in his case with the city’s most notorious cold case: JonBenét Ramsey.

Clark was convicted in 2012 and sent away for life without parole for Marty Grisham’s murder, a crime he has said for more than 30 years he did not commit.

The case went unsolved for 17 years, and was resurrected largely on the strength of later DNA analysis and testimony from now discredited Colorado Bureau of Investigation forensic scientist Yvonne Woods.

Clark's defense has filed 12 subpoenas to Boulder authorities seeking documents and other information connected to the Clark case in advance of his scheduled 2026 retrial.

Clark has maintained his innocence for over 30 years.

Author's summary: Michael Clark seeks to link his case to JonBenét Ramsey investigation mistakes.
