One would think that would fall under normal discovery. The defense should be allowed to view the video under supervision of the court and then provided with a copy for use in developing their defense. I don’t see why their would be a question about this.
Finally, once videos are reviewed by defense attorneys, they typically become public record and can be requested by media outlets.
They are still doing bond hearings. I'm not sure "discovery" has started. But if the prosecution is going use evidence in a "bond hearing", it seems that the defense should be entitled to it.
I impulsively think the shooter is bad, given the circumstances shared thus far. But I reserve judgement until all the facts come out.
“I don’t see why their would be a question about this.”
Yeah, me neither. Well, there may be less of a conflict than this article makes it seem like. Perhaps they always go through these hoops.
I don’t like the idea of showing this on TV to the general public, or anything like that. I do not understand why they do things like that, play 911 recordings for example.
Perhaps the relatives of those involved want to see or hear things like that, but I find it rather exploitative (and upsetting) to just broadcast them.
