BROOMFIELD — A Broomfield woman accused of trying to remove blood stains from a carpet after what police say was a deadly argument at her home has pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence.
Carissa Koch is to be sentenced June 19.
Koch’s husband, Matthew P. Burnett, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 34-year-old James Clifford Fernandez and is scheduled to be sentenced May 23.
Police say Fernandez’s body was found on a street Aug. 17 after he got in an argument with Burnett at the couple’s home. An arrest affidavit says Burnett attacked Fernandez after finding him in a “compromising position” with his wife.
