I've always questioned why the law hasn't caught up with the fact that so much is caught on camera. Video evidence should hold **TREMENDOUS WEIGHT.** Even more when there is audio, a dozen or so angles, and corroborating witnesses. There have been **thousands** of long, drawn out trials which anybody with a functioning eyeball could determine either "Yep, that guy definitely murdered that other guy" or "Holy shit, that guy would've died if he didn't shoot the guy who was bludgeoning him!" This sort of shit should have like... "special trials". Shorter, faster trials in which the video and audio evidence is presented first and foremost, by the prosecutor and then the defense. Then witness examinations, then jury questions *with the video footage.* But this would reduce the amount of money funneled into the justice system, so we're going to pretend that **seeing something play out, with the full context, in high definition video footage from 20 angles** needs some massive deliberation and examination.
