Is anybody surprised by this?
The prosecutor should be disbarred. I will be very disappointed if they are not.
What was the prosecutions reasoning for holding the HD quality footage until after the trial? Why did they bother showing the video knowing it would open up a can of worms. It comes across as the state DA prosecution team lie cheats and steals just like the BLM and Antifa goons they are protecting. Hope the jury figured this out.
“””It turns out that the prosecution had within its possession a high-quality video that it played for the judge after the trial ended.”””
If I recall correctly, I watched that back and forth between the attorneys and the judge who were watching the ‘better’ version.
I do not recall anyone saying: “Wow, this uncompressed video is a lot clearer”.
Considering everything else they did you would think the judge would dismiss the case. If it wasn’t high profile then I think he would. Instead they will charge this kid with something. They are going to riot anyways.
would showing the 11.2MB video have helped proving Kyle’s innocence?
Or, is it the fact that a different video was shared.
Showing a fuzzy video sure wastes a lot of time and money trying to decipher what each shape is. Prosecution should pay Kyle’s Defense Lawyers.
Ever read about the Soviet show trials?
Their video guy worked for several days and ~ 20 hours to polish a turd that they had (for at least that long) and never revealed it to the defense. Not guilty! Case dismissed and the state will pay all costs to the defense.
There is also unconfirmed rumor that the prosecution knew the identity of “Jump Kick Man” because he approached the prosecution to offer his testimony in exchange for dropped pending unrelated charges against him.
If true, then the identity of “Jump Kick Man” should have been shared with defense.
Yet more withheld evidence.
Pretty sure he is speaking from experience...
Why is this even a factor? I have seen several times that if someone is in retreat, he regains his self defense protections.
The prosecutor is a dirty slimey corrupt rat. As are many left wing activists like he is.
