I think we need to remember this is just the first time this guy got caught, how many previous defendants are now imprisoned because he tipped the scales of "justice" by destroying exculpatory evidence? The problem is structural and cannot be fixed, LEOs, judges, and prosecutors all have a vested interest in working together to imprison defendants regardless of guilt. Whether through financial coercion, ejecting impartial jurors, or losing evidence they have a well greased machine that is designed to railroad the innocent just as quickly as the guilty.
