Arkansas sheriff candidate's murder charge dropped over lost dash-cam evidence
TL;DR
A judge dismissed the second-degree murder charge against Aaron Spencer, the Lonoke County sheriff nominee who shot Michael Fosler, citing egregious law-enforcement misconduct after the dash-cam video evidence was mishandled or lost; Spencer says he acted to protect his daughter from Fosler, who had been charged with sexual offenses against her, and the case was dropped weeks before trial.
