Aaron Spencer: Did Police DESTROY the Dash Cam? | Motion to Dismiss Brief Breakdown

A new defense motion in the Aaron Spencer case alleges that Lonoke County investigators lost — and may have destroyed — the single most important piece of evidence in this prosecution: the dash camera recovered from inside Michael Fosler's truck.

Tonight on Defense Diaries LIVE, criminal defense attorneys Bob and Ali break down the May 21, 2026 Brief in Support of Defendant's Motion to Dismiss for Due Process Violation or, Alternatively, for a Spoliation Instruction.

Aaron Spencer (Case No. 43CR-24-551, Lonoke County, Arkansas) is charged with second-degree murder after he shot Fosler — a 67-year-old man facing pending criminal sexual-abuse charges and bound by a no-contact order — during the October 8, 2024 confrontation in which Spencer found his missing minor daughter inside Fosler's truck in the middle of the night.

The defense argues the dash cam would have been the only objective, contemporaneous record of what happened before the shooting — and that the detective who collected it never logged it into evidence, kept it in his office, reviewed it alone, and ultimately "lost" the SD card. We'll walk through the Trombetta and Youngblood due-process standards, the State v. Clarks framework, the bad-faith argument, and what a dismissal — or a spoliation/missing-evidence jury instruction — would mean for this case.

Bob and Ali gives the insider, practicing-attorney perspective you won't get anywhere else.
