A deputy put the only evidence card into his own laptop, then lost it entirely. That one act—which is a clear violation of his department’s own rules—just ended a m*rder trial.
Aaron Spencer, 37, had been charged with second-degree m*rder after tracking down the man accused of repeatedly s*xually ass*ulting his teenage daughter and sh**ting him. The man, 67-year-old Michael Fosler, had already been arrested on 43 charges including child p*rnography possession. He posted $50,000 bond and was released.
Days later, Spencer found him driving with his daughter in the passenger seat. The dash camera footage from that moment was the kind of evidence a trial turns on. It no longer exists. The judge called the pattern of violations an appearance of a cover-up and dismissed the case entirely. 380,000 people had already signed a petition calling for Spencer’s charges to be dropped.
