Evidence in a bizarre case of a Canadian soldier accused of drugging comrades with marijuana-laced cupcakes was lost by military police, says the soldier's lawyer — who accuses the Department of National Defence of conducting a sloppy, incompetent investigation. "The chain of command's loss of the cupcake wrappers was so shockingly negligent as to constitute an abuse of process." "The military community was entitled to a proper and complete investigation, not a half-hearted and incomplete one that saw crucial evidence lost," reads Kasper's application. Regional military prosecutors responded, saying the evidence was never lost since it was never in government authorities' possession in the first place. The military wrote in its defence that it doesn't know where the other wrappers went "missing."
