Summary
A murder charge against Aaron Spencer has been thrown out after a judge called law enforcement’s handling of critical dash camera evidence “egregious,” citing its loss as a key reason for dismissal. Spencer, who’d just won the Republican sheriff nomination in Lonoke County, was accused of killing Michael Fosler — a man facing charges related to Spencer’s daughter — and claimed he acted in self-defense to protect her. The detective who collected the camera admitted it wasn’t logged into evidence and was kept in his personal office. Spencer’s legal team hailed the ruling as justice, saying no family should endure such trauma — and that Spencer was justified in defending his child.
