Michael Clark Murder Defense Seeks Connection to JonBenét Investigation
Michael Clark, facing a retrial for a 1994 murder, is seeking documents that link his case to the infamous 1996 JonBenét Ramsey investigation.
Clark's defense team has filed 12 subpoenas to Boulder authorities, seeking documents and information connected to his case, ahead of his scheduled 2026 retrial for the killing of Marty Grisham.
Clark was convicted in 2012 and sentenced to life without parole, but he has maintained his innocence for over 30 years. The case was initially unsolved for 17 years, but was reopened due to DNA analysis and testimony from forensic scientist Yvonne Woods, whose credibility has since been discredited.
Clark's defense seeks to link alleged Boulder police missteps in his case with the city's most notorious cold case: JonBenét Ramsey.
The unusual claim aims to highlight potential mistakes in the investigation, which could impact Clark's retrial.
