Technically that means the cops destroyed the evidence. Their investigatory department should be savvy enough to avoid destroying evidence.

That is not how the law works. Under Georgia law (GA Code § 16-2-20) it says

> (a) Every person concerned in the commission of a crime is a party thereto and may be charged with and convicted of commission of the crime

>(b) A person is concerned in the commission of a crime only if he: (1) Directly commits the crime; (2) Intentionally causes some other person to commit the crime under such circumstances that the other person is not guilty of any crime either in fact or because of legal incapacity; (3) Intentionally aids or abets in the commission of the crime; or (4) Intentionally advises, encourages, hires, counsels, or procures another to commit the crime

Seems like this is a clear case to me.
