” two European eyewitnesses have rebuffed prosecutors’ bid to get them to turn over the footage”
yeh- i’m sure the fat, left wing, racist prosecutor/DA of NYChitty really, really wants video that would be favorable to Daniel Penny...
So much for the 6th amendment, which guarantees defendants in criminal prosecutions “compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor.”
If no one has seen the video but them, maybe it doesn’t even exist. Maybe these two are hoping to get paid ‘a reasonable sum’ before turning it over, if even then.
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE ?????
Civic duty today. Tell them when Russia invades, we will video tape it.
They’re Brits and likely believe Penny was guilty of murdering the guy despite video evidence to the contrary.
The prosecutor probably urged them to return to Europe so that cannot be subpoenaed and told them they would get death threats from the public if they testified in favor of a shooter.
It is not hard for a prosecutor to convince a witness not to testify. Of course, if the defendant did that, it would be obstruction of justice and witness interference and the prosecutor would be adding criminal charges to the indictment as we speak.
They should never “tourist” here again.
