5B Handling Video Evidence
Date & Time

Description

Video evidence can be very compelling. Potential video evidence is abundant with smartphones and surveillance cameras everywhere. To admit video evidence, basic requirements must be met —relevance, authenticity, and reliability. Authenticity assures video evidence hasn’t been manufactured or altered. Video evidence requires foundation, which involves its origin, chain of custody, and assurances of secure retention without possibility of tampering. Parties may wish to use video to refresh a witness’s present memory, as a witness’s “past recollection recorded,” or to impeach witness testimony. This session addresses these matters and analysis of video evidence.
