"It’s not uncommon for police to lose evidence: The legal group the Innocence Project, which has helped to exonerate 184 prisoners, said it’s closed between 30 and 35 cases in New York state simply because crime scene evidence couldn’t be unearthed from storage. The release earlier this month of 45-year-old Fappiano, who was told his evidence was lost in 2002, brought renewed attention to the injustice that can be spawned by the NYPD’s aging evidence tracking system."
