• explaining that, because the evidence destroyed was central to the government’s case, the government was more likely to have destroyed it in bad faith
• finding that potential results from further tests were not apparently exculpatory under Trombetta because it was not apparent what the tests would reveal
• noting that Youngblood sets out standards for “pretrial access to potentially exculpatory evidence”
• dismissing the indictment because of the government's destruction of potentially exculpatory evidence and violation of defendant's due process rights
• remanding with order to dismiss indictment after the government destroyed potentially exculpatory evidence in the face of defense’s repeated requests for pretrial access to the evidence
• discussing United States v. Richard, 969 F.2d 849 (10th Cir. 1992) where government destroyed boxes of marijuana and the defendant did not show that the government knew he wanted them preserved for trial
