The case against Republican sheriff nominee Aaron Spencer was dismissed on Thursday after law enforcement lost a dash cam memory card that may have captured the fatal shooting of Michael Fosler.
Cases have always been dismissed if the state mishandles them to a sufficient degree. So this isn’t a new thing.
And the guy ran for sheriff after being arrested and charged because he felt the police were mishandling the case and corrupt. So it feels unlikely that they mishandled the evidence intentionally to help the guy. But without facts it’s all conjecture either way.
