Ranger says FBI destroyed evidence at Koresh compound

David Byrnes testified at House hearings that FBI destroyed potentially important evidence at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco and failed to communicate with other agencies. He cited lack of phone talks and noted bullet-carrier clues might have helped trace gunfire paths, while defense attorneys described FBI actions during the 51 day siege.
