> Losing data is common and should not be a big deal for a County sized office, muchless a Texas based one... But it's a big deal when it prevents the state from putting a person who committed murder in jail, right? Humans make mistakes, but it seems like law enforcement should have a big enough budget to make that /really/ unlikely.

If nothing else you would think "cops don't like losing cases, and prosecuting attorneys REALLY don't like losing cases". Like my comment elsewhere here, government tends to be reactionary and unfortunately incidents like this will keep occurring until the pressure is put on for change.

They DO have a big enough budget, they just choose to spend it on overtime and militarizing their forces instead.
