ORIGINAL CASE ANALYSIS

What the footage supports

The recording documents what the witness saw, but low light removes the landmarks needed to calculate distance, size, and motion. Camera shake, autofocus, and digital enhancement can dominate apparent movement in this type of footage.

WITNESS + SOURCE RECORD

What the public record says

A service member recorded the event with a handheld device. Low light and missing landmarks sharply limit reconstruction.
