Via this blog over here, pointing to this one over here, both pointing to this thread in the Texas District and County Attorneys Association’s online forums, we learn that prosecutors are now getting written agreements to the destruction of DNA evidence as part of plea bargains. As Wretched of the Earth puts it, “Want to avoid a nasty and embarrassing exoneration? Well, the answer is simple: destroy all the evidence people could use to prove the defendant’s innocence! It’s so easy!” Wonderful posts in the TDCAA forum, too, like “Go for the destruction.”
