Why Would Anyone Fight to Keep Aaron Spencer's Murder Charge Alive?

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

A thirteen-year-old girl was found in the truck of the man charged with crimes against her — after midnight, while he was on bond with a no-contact order. Her father found her. Stopped the man. Called 911 himself. And the system that failed to protect that child turned around and charged her father with second-degree murder.That case is now over. Judge Ralph Wilson Jr. dismissed it after finding that Lonoke County law enforcement's conduct was "so egregious" that the prosecution couldn't stand. His written order describes "a pattern of policy and procedure violations" and "the appearance of a coverup." At the center: a dashcam SD card from the deceased's truck that investigators had, mishandled in violation of their own procedures, and then lost entirely. The one piece of evidence that could have shown what really happened — gone.And it wasn't just the evidence. The original judge attempted to gag Aaron Spencer and restrict public access to the courtroom. The Arkansas Supreme Court removed her from the case after intervening twice. State legislators formally raised concerns. The prosecutor fought to keep the murder charge alive through his final filing — submitted the day before the judge dismissed everything.The sheriff's department that lost the SD card was run by the man Spencer was challenging in the next election. Spencer won that primary with over fifty-three percent. The voters saw what was happening before the judge confirmed it. But the dismissal only answered one question. The bigger ones — why every institution in Lonoke County appeared to coordinate against a father who protected his daughter, who benefits from the evidence disappearing, and whether the trail leads beyond Michael Fosler — haven't been touched. And until someone with federal authority starts asking, the people the judge described aren't answering to anyone.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
