What I want to know is why the defense wasn’t all over this video like flies on shit. Where is the spoliation/subpoena? This kid’s life is literally hanging in the balance and they didn’t search the far corners of the earth to find it?
Something is fishy… like they didn’t want it entered because it incriminates their client further.
Absolutely! I believe that's what's happening with the video evidence. They wanted to avoid it.
how the fuck is video surveillance available to the prosecution NOT available to the defense? It’s public record ffs
Burdensome discovery response deserved an objection… and I bet they did lol
1) It was not a government drone. A private company.
2) The full video was never provided just a tiny clip.
3) There was no raw footage provided just one edited clip and no sound even though that model records sound. There are foundational issues as the person who records it didn't provide all the data and was not named by prosecutors so defense could not cross examine.
4) The defense had high res video but only gave defense a low res version with 1/16th the data and even then only gave them a copy last Saturday evening after the defense had rested. That is a massive problem. Further more the prosecution admitted they had a better resolution copy so they knew they withheld the high res video from the defense illegally.
5) The prosecutor claimed he had no idea how the defense only got a low res copy and he didn't even know how to do it yet in court he played it off his laptop and his laptop had the programs I stalled to edit and compress videos on it. So it is obvious this was intentional withholding of evidence.
