What is mishandled evidence?

Posted on February 6, 2007 4:33 PM
I'm seeing stories about a prosecutor in Iowa getting fired. He mishandled evidence in drug cases...
An assistant county attorney in Pottawattamie County who officials say mishandled evidence in drug cases has been fired.
Told you. Here's more...
Assistant Pottawattamie County Attorney Jeff TeKippe (Tuh-KEP') has been on paid leave as a result of the investigation, but County Attorney Matt Wilber says Tekippe has now been fired. Wilber declined further comment and is referring all questions to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
They aren't offering any more details about the case, which means I've been left to figure out what mishandling means.

Maybe he was juggling a few bags of coke, and he dropped one and it broke?

Perhaps he decided to partake of the party in a package of pot?

Oh, even better, did he choose to stimulate the local cash-only economy by offering some of the County's finest confiscated recreationals for sale?
