A broken seal and an incomplete handover

A fictional training case concerns a package received by an evidence reviewer after several documented transfers. The outer label identifies the case and item, but the seal is broken and one transfer entry lacks the recipient name. A prior entry describes the package as sealed. The immediate scene is already secure and no emergency care issue remains. One employee proposes replacing the seal and inserting a likely colleague name to make the form complete. Another declares the item automatically inadmissible without investigating the handling history. Original photographs, access records and transfer messages remain available. Students must identify the specific gaps, distinguish evidence integrity from a final legal ruling and propose an honest review process without manufacturing a clean history or accusing a particular person without evidence.
