It doesn't matter one iota. He could have waterboarded Mother Theresa for all I care.
Due. Process. Them you can abscond with liberties. No due process, no absconding with liberties. Destroying evidence, especially exculpatory evidence is the System placing itself above it's mandate from the People as laid out in the Constitution.
If you want to imprison someone, you prove your case, maintain all evidence, and investigate every instance of exculpatory evidence you can.
It is not the job of Law Enforcement to secure a conviction. It is their job to see Justice done to the best of their ability. If they violate that mandate by destroying exculpatory evidence, they vacate their authority to imprison.
The scales of Justice demand this bias. Otherwise you've equipped the State with carte blanche to lock up and keep locked up anyone they like.
Due Process. It means something. You may not sympathize with the person, but it is critically important that we hold the edifices of power to maximal account.
