What are the chances of a compromised crime scene affecting any trials that may come from it?

Some evidence collected from the apartment could be dismissed as being placed or dropped there by media. Media has been known in the past to plant evidence to finger an innocent suspect or sensationalize a crime scene and boost their ratings. Sort of like in Nightcrawler.

Wouldn't be hard for a defense attorney argue bullets or unregistered firearms located within the apartment tossed out, and any that are left in would provide sufficient grounds to pursue an appeal.

Edit: If the landlord was really letting people on the street in with dogs for $1000 a pop, then really all evidence (aside from signed confessions or comprehensive plans, fired rounds whose striations and caliber match that of the ones used in the spree) could be compromised.

Interesting story from a very well known company supplying fantasy wargaming products in Nottingham (Games Workshop).

This week, reader "James" has shared a story “from my days as a Sysadmin, at the dawn of the broadband area, when I worked for a very well known company supplying fantasy wargaming products.”

Said company decided it needed an office in Europe, supplied by a warehouse in Nottingham.

“To connect the sites, the ERP system needed a link between the sites,” James recalls. But the company's preferred telco was a few weeks away from launching its broadband product. The European office couldn't wait, however, so James “used an aggregated on-demand international ISDN connection so the databases could sync as required.”

“This was massively expensive, but was only needed for two weeks before we could place the order for broadband. The system worked fine unattended, and everyone was happy as the ERP system worked flawlessly.”

Despite the outbreak of happiness, “a week later the IT Manager called me into a meeting with HR to inform me I had been made redundant, effectively immediately.”

James was escorted from the premises by security and prevented from speaking to his colleagues.

Before he placed an order for broadband.

“Two months later,” James wrote, “I received a call from the horrified IT Director (the IT Manager himself had been made redundant straight after me), to ask if I knew why they faced an ISDN bill for over £100,000.”

Remember that bit at the start of the story about this happening at the “dawn of the broadband age”? Back then, data connections weren't cheap. So by marching James without a handover, his former employer had missed the chance to learn about the expensive ISDN connection.

“I had great delight in telling them I knew exactly why the bill was so large and had they not made me redundant they would have not blown the whole year's IT investment budget in a single month,” James recalls. “Even better, they had gone over the cancellation period, locking them into a year's contract.”

Updates from the above link:

quote:

When Mashable reached out to the FBI while the scene was simultaneously unfolding on live television, a spokesperson seemed shocked when asked if the public was allowed to enter the apartment.

"I do not believe so, but I can check," she said around 9:30 a.m. PT. "My understanding is it is still an ongoing investigation."

An hour later, Lourdes Arocho, spokesperson for the FBI Los Angeles field office, told Mashable: "The search is over at that location."

[...]

During an afternoon press conference, FBI Los Angeles Assistant Director David Bowdich said that the federal investigation at the property had ended.

Bowdich said investigators had seized several pieces of evidence from the home but had turned it back over to the owner.

"Once we board it up, anyone that goes in at that point has nothing to do with us," said Bowdich.

So pretty low in this case. This is just bottom-feeding on the report of networks who need to substitute sensationalism for information because it's easier than filling a 24-hour news cycle with actual data.

That is a feel good story, especially due to how lovely of a company Games Workshop is. One day (ya right) management will learn that IT is an asset not a liability.

Any department whose primary job is making sure that things don't go horrifically wrong is going to have a tough time justifying themselves to management. At least until management cuts them back to the point that something goes horrifically wrong and then they get a couple of years until management turnover makes the organization forget it again.

I got so sick of that treadmill I've gone back to school for a degree in something less soul destroying.
