Lost Pieces of a Conviction – Historical Precedents of Material Evidence Unavailable in Major Judicial Cases

The INSLAW/PROMIS affair (DOJ software stolen and resold, 1982-1993), the missing Silkwood case documents (1974), the burned JFK autopsy notes (1963), and the deleted White House visitor logs constitute precedents of missing pieces of evidence in cases involving institutional actors. The missing register from 301 E 66th Street (Espinosa, 12 apartments) and the unpublished contents of seized CDs fit into this pattern.

The missing register from 301 E 66th Street (Espinosa, 12 apartments) and the unpublished contents of seized CDs fit into this pattern. | Conclusion: The disappearance of evidence in high-sensitivity cases is a RECURRING and DOCUMENTED pattern. The absence of the 301 E 66th register, the sealing of GX-1101, and the non-publication of CD contents are not anomalous compared to historical precedents -- they are the NORM.
