They don't lie to investigators about what they were doing.

There's another major element of this trial that, until now, has been minimized and downplayed by the media.

It's the surveillance video showing parts of the altercation from a distance.

This is footage that hasn't been released to the public.

The authorities are hiding it, just like the British government is hiding several of the videos involving the murder of Henry Novak.

But as we discussed, a small number of news outlets had been allowed to see the video and to describe it to their audience.

In every case, the outlets have said it's useless.

They told us for an entire year that there's nothing interesting about the footage, that you can't see anything in it.

But if that's the case, it's very odd that the prosecution made the video a centerpiece of their opening argument, as well as the first testimony that a jury heard.

Jurors watching two versions of the footage, the raw video and a version that was enhanced,

And then prosecutors question a video forensic expert who works with the DA's office about the footage.

The entire tape lasted for 15 minutes and 20 seconds, and it begins with the Metcalf brothers entering the stadium.

Now, at the three minute, 24 second mark, Anthony enters the stadium at seven minutes and 57 seconds into the video.

The forensic expert says that people started paying attention to what was happening under the tent.

One person appears to push another person underneath the tent.

The physical confrontation lasts a couple seconds, and then there's a flurry of movement.

And as described by an NBC reporter in the courtroom, Anthony, quote, exits the bleachers at the top of the tent, goes onto the walkway, down a ramp, and into the parking lot, appears to alternate between running and walking throughout.

Now, as Anthony exits the bleachers, someone is pointing at him, and at 12 minutes and 30 seconds, Anthony is being escorted out by the police.

Now, from these descriptions, which were provided by reporters who could barely see it, since the TV wasn't angled towards them, we can conclude that indeed the video footage is highly relevant evidence.

It's not worthless, as every media outlet claimed.
