Destroy the Evidence	comment	Bob has come into possession of some evidence relating to a crime. However, instead of turning this evidence over to the proper authorities, he destroys (or withholds/hides) the evidence. Why? Well, there's a number of reasons. For instance: The evidence could incriminate someone who Bob likes and doesn't want to see punished. The evidence, if made public, will ruin the life of someone who's otherwise involved in the crime, like a victim or a witness. Bob is being blackmailed by the Big Bad or an associate. Bob himself would be incriminated by the evidence. The evidence contains information which would exonerate another villain who is on trial for another crime. The evidence, if involving a dead person, might cast a bad light on their memory — and Bob was a good friend/relative/lover of the dead person. The evidence is entirely worthless — it's too late to act. Bob wants to punish the bad guy himself. While the evidence could get the bad guy put away or otherwise punished, it would cause scandals and create chaos for a lot of people, some of whom may be entirely innocent. The evidence would reveal an ugly truth about a past event that the public perceives as a good thing, and Bob wants the event to stay a good thing. The criminal committed the crime for a good reason, and in retrospect, Bob agrees that the act was justified. The crime involved the murder of someone who was a truly terrible person, and Bob doesn't want the evidence revealed since it would result in someone going to prison for something he doesn't think of as a crime. Bob is currently on the run or at least not on good terms with the local authorities, so he can't give the evidence to them without being captured/killed/arrested. Bob is eventually revealed to be the villain. Bob believes that the criminal is genuinely repentant and need not be punished further. Whatever good intentions Bob may have had, destroying the evidence will probably have bad results — a villain could walk free, for instance, or a good guy might be implicated. May result in a What the Hell, Hero?, given Bob is the hero. In others, a Villain with Good Publicity may destroy any evidence that can be used to arrest/implicate them in a crime or a horrific event.

At a wake held for a dead woman, Phryne steals a pillowcase dropped by a maid that she finds to be suspicious — it has teeth imprints and a stiff patch, indicating that the old woman was murdered by being smothered with the pillow. At the end of the novel, Phryne's maid Dot washes the pillowcase and returns it, not realising that it was important.

Destroy the Evidence / int_31ca9925	comment	In any season of The Dukes of Hazzard, the phrase "The boys got off because there wasn't any evidence" is about guaranteed to occur in at least a third of the episodes. Frequently the lack of evidence is a result of it being sunk in a pond, set on fire, blown up or in some other fashion destroyed. Sometimes the destruction is even intentional. One time they were being chased for having made moonshine but got off because they used it as fuel for the General Lee and had run out of "gas." (Which I guess would be another Eat the Evidence example, for a given definition of "eat.")

Destroy the Evidence / int_64494e71	comment	Walker, Texas Ranger: The villains tend to do this all the time whenever either the Rangers or another law enforcement official has caught on to their schemes. Season 6's "Forgotten People" details Janet Monroe, a corrupt nursing home director, using her business as a front for an operation where she's using her patients as guinea pigs in illegal medical experiments where she plans to put variations of an outlawed Alzheimer's drug on the market. When CD is sent in undercover to find the evidence needed to prove it and then alerts Walker and Trivette via a transmitter connected to Walker's pager hidden in a bible that he is about to be murdered by nursing home officials for threatening to expose their scheme, Monroe tries frantically to shred the experiment records while Walker and Trivette beat up her orderlies. Luckily, some pieces of evidence survived, sufficient to put her and her rogue doctors and ex-con orderlies away for a long time. In "Deadly Situation" (Season 9), Glenn Cooper, an aspiring Texas Ranger starting off as a rookie police officer for the Sage City PD and descendant of the legendary Ranger Hayes Cooper, busted three of his own for partaking in a drug trafficking operation conducted by Chick Winslow following a recent drug bust. Much later in the episode, it's revealed to be four dirty cops: his boss, Lieutenant Shell, was the leader of the operation, and following the bust hours after a party following a baseball game Sage City officers competed in with the Rangers, Glenn gave him the original copies of the evidence the following morning, but instead of taking those photos to internal affairs, Shell likely destroyed them before tipping off the three detectives that got busted, and then planted the stolen drugs from that previous bust in Glenn's locker, framing him and his partner (who was then murdered by the trio) for their crime. It's quickly subverted with the additional copies of those photos Glenn hid at a library: Gage and Sydney retrieved them first and arrested the trio before they could get them. One of the detectives then promptly confesses Lt. Shell's involvement in the case, upon which he and his two partners are indicted for killing Glenn's partner and almost killing Sage County District Attorney Clark, and while Gage, Sydney and Trivette arrest Chick Winslow, Lt. Shell went on to commit suicide at his home before his boss and Walker could arrest him.

If it is ever discovered that they killed him, the truce between Old Town and the police will end and a violent war will erupt, so they try to dispose of him and his friends by sinking the body into the local tar pits. The situation is complicated by Mob Boss Wallenquist, who is trying to get possession of Jack's body in order to make sure that the war does erupt since if Old Town is weakened by the police he will be able to move in afterwards and take control of the women therein. Ultimately, most of Jack disappears into the pits, and the rest of him is destroyed when his corpse's head is stuffed with explosives, along with Manute and his men who wanted revenge on Old Town after Ava's death at their hands.

Destroy the Evidence / int_e5feb1e	comment	Done multiple times in the Ace Attorney series, usually by the defendants. Often they're trying to protect someone they care about from incrimination, even at the cost of their own freedom: Late in Case 1-4, Manfred von Karma destroys most of the critical evidence you have but fails to get the bullet from the DL-6 Incident, which leads to his undoing. He even says that his accomplice, Yanni Yogi, should have burned the letter he received. In case 1-5, Lana Skye deliberately distorted evidence relating to the SL-9 incident- wiping the blood off of pottery fragments, which apparently spell the name "EMA" partially in order to get Joe Darke convicted, but mainly to prevent her sister from being charged with murder. Later, Phoenix doesn't want to present a certain piece of evidence(Ema's handprint, which was cut out of the victim's vest) for the same reason - it implicates someone he doesn't want to see get in trouble. He does present it later when it becomes the key piece of evidence to implicate the guilty party, who is the only one who could have known about its significance and removed it. Phoenix Wright himself does this in 3-1 by eating Dahlia's locket. Special mention to Detective Badd in Ace Attorney Investigations who destroyed evidence relating to the Yatagarasu. As head of the investigation he was in a perfect position to make sure no traces were ever found at the crime scene. Why? He was a member of the Yatagarasu. In Dual Destinies, the Phantom goes as far as bombing a courthouse in order to destroy a moon rock hidden inside evidence for an ongoing case because said moon rock had his blood on it. Phoenix unfortunately only realizes this after he figured out that the moon rock is vital evidence, only for the Phantom to smugly ask to see the moon rock, causing him to put the pieces together and realize what happened.

Destroy the Evidence / int_f0c816fb	comment	Breaking Bad: The first episode of season five has Walt realizing he still has lots of loose ends to tie up. He starts off by throwing away all the stuff he used to make the bomb that killed Gus and then also dumps the potted lily-of-the-valley plant he used to poison Brock. Then he realizes he has a much bigger problem; the Superlab had numerous security cameras recording his every move while he was working for Gus, and Gus' laptop with all the incriminating footage was confiscated by the DEA. Walt, Jesse, and Mike then spend the rest of the episode trying to find a way to destroy the laptop before anyone watches the footage and discovers their involvement, which they manage to accomplish to do with a giant electromagnet. Unfortunately for them, this ends up accidentally revealing the bank account numbers, which had been hidden in a photo frame, that Gus had been using to pay his employees...

Ironically, as the ticket was unused, it would have actually supported his alibi.

When the government starts cracking down on Huey Long and other Commonwealth Party hardliners, Gerald L. K. Smith takes pains to eliminate all proof of financial ties between himself and Long's less than legal acts. In the rush to do this, however, he fails to properly dispose of evidence connecting himself to a white supremacist terror group.
