Evidence
HOW DID NARCOTICS BUREAU MESS UP?
How did the state Bureau of Narcotics "lose" samples from a 200-pound haul
of marijuana, plus audio tapes, photographs and other evidence taken in the
arrest of a suspect?
Prosecutors are downplaying the missing evidence, saying they have other
charges to present against a defendant accused of plotting to transport
drugs to Jackson.
But what happened to the evidence? What's going on? Such foul-ups are more
than embarrassing. The case was dismissed Monday. A full accounting should
be made.
