Summary
According to the new 600-page LA Innocence Project petition, internal Modesto Police logs show that on May 6 2003, investigators gathered to decide what to hand over to the defense. By May 7, they’d ordered the destruction of two critical items: the videotaped interrogations of burglars Steven Todd and Glenn Pierce, and the safe stolen from the Medina home across the street from Scott and Laci.
Weeks later—gone. Destroyed.
No copies, no transcripts, no forensic testing.
This episode breaks down how that single act could unravel the entire case. We’ll look at the timeline, the paper trail, and the California law (Trombetta and Youngblood) that defines intentional destruction of exculpatory evidence as a constitutional violation.
If this petition is right, it wasn’t negligence. It was orchestration. And it may be the moment the State of California crossed the line from prosecution … to cover-up.
