“But the fact remains, this video appears to be edited.”
Perhaps, but if so, it’s too late, and the perp should have come up with a better story and hired a better lawyer.
He can ponder that in the pen.
That begs the question, if if the video can be ID’d so quickly as appearing possibly edited, why would the cops/DA no pursue that when they took the video as evidence? It’s not up to the homeowner to investigate his own evidence. It could have been a technical issue with the camera which could be critical to whatever the homeowner is alleging. No?
