"No. The 20 year old burglar was not working for the police."

Not true!!!! Unless........the State prosecutes the burglar. If they "cut him a sweet deal", then he's working for the State. BOTH should be prosecuted AND the appartment manager should also be prosecuted IF he entered the appartment to see the evidence. Most states require an advance notification of the tenent, before an apartment owner, or those in his employ, are allowed to enter an apartment.

In addition, he will have to admit that he broke in, and that raises doubt as to whether the pics were found, or were planted...

No, as long as the state had no prior knowledge that he was going to enter the apartment, he's not the state's agent. Criminals provide evidence against other criminals all the time. They don't have to have known each other.
