ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Yes, and footage can be faked, it can be altered, and it can be misleading. Do we know if these boys are truly guilty? No, not until a trial. They could get off on a technicality. Then what? Okay, the police, pushed to make an arrest, get the video footage and alter it, removing unidentified African-American teenagers, replace them with ones that have records for assault and other violent crimes, having somehow gained footage of these two they can identify in the same parking lot at the same time but on another night, edit it in, making sure that the same cars are in the parking lot so the footage has continuity. Sounds plausible. Not what I am saying at all, and I think you know that. What we often see as "proof" later turns into something else. Is it likely in this case? No. But without a trial, are we really willing to kill people for what we assume is a crime? At least with a guilty verdict.....
