(AP) — While the lawsuits against state and county officials by two men falsely accused of murder have been settled, a former Douglas County crime scene investigator still faces claims.

Lawsuits by Matthew Livers and Nicholas Sampson are pending against former CSI Director David Kofoed, who served time in prison for witness tampering in the case.

Kofoed was investigating the 2006 deaths of Wayne and Sharmon Stock when he said he found a speck of a victim’s blood in a car linked to Livers and Sampson.

Prosecutors said Kofoed faked a positive test to bolster a case against the two men, who were later exonerated.

An attorney for Sampson, Maren Chaloupka, says Kofoed does not have an attorney and has not participated in court actions.

Kofoed could not be reached for comment.
