I agree that circumstantial evidence is evidence and that this angle of the case should be investigated. My point is that circumstantial evidence doesn't rule out other possibilities, and if you forget that then you risk deceiving yourself.
Based on other comments here, there seems to be a plausible reason that this type of exercise might not normally be recorded.
But if there's supposed to be a recording, and there isn't, then in the very least that's a plausible angle for investigation.
Meanwhile if it really is the case that the exercise wouldn't normally be recorded, then there's also an open question as to why this guy was assigned to an unrecorded training with somebody he was investigating for rape.
Police investigations and juries aren't logical proofs, that's why there are juries, character witnesses, etc.
