Rekieta feed is saying that Brandon Beamen (drone video source) was on the prosecution's witness list. That opens up a whole other can of worms.
Hawg, could you elaborate?
Hiding a foundational witness for evidence isn't exactly ethical behavior.
There are major evidentiary issues here, as well.
The provider of the video source should have been put on the witness stand, or at least deposed, to introduce the evidence. Normally, evidence needs a source. It is not supposed to be dropped out of thin air (pun intended).
If he HAD testified, defense team much more likely to have figured out that the HD video exists.
Also, I think the prosecutors lied about knowing the identity of the drone video.
