Madison County State's Attorney Bill Haine issued a memo to police departments urging prosecutors be consulted before gathering evidence at murder scenes after two cases lost evidence due to warrants issues. He praised officers acting in good faith while noting lawyers’ perspective differs. The cases involve Suzanne Johnson in Collinsville and Michael Sparks in Moro, where overturned or limited evidence prompted the warning.
