In DA law school they must learn the fundamentals of putting together a good case. This entails selecting and "preparing" evidence and witnesses. This involves shaping, forming, and carefully molding it to fit the case theory. There is also the process of elimination in which nonconforming evidence is mislaid, lost or destroyed "accidentally". There is the careful and often fruitful working and reworking of the "story" ie, testimony. This entails the threatening of the witnesses, the offering of unsavory deals, the promising of further punishment for those requesting a trial by jury, and the effort to remove any competent defense attorney from the case. Tape erasing as taught by Ms. Lincoln has been replaced by document and evidence removal taught by Mr. S. Burger. As always, the rule is this: it is not the quality of the evidence, but the seriousness of the charge that is important.
