/5 [For the record it was more hijinks than a riot, the case was overcharged. The Rolling 60s crip client, who had shaved off his eyebrows and tattooed “FUCK YOU” where they used to be, got a shocked look at the NG and glanced at me with a “ok, not bad,” which is a career highlight.]

/4 I got a NG because the prosecution thought everyone would see the video the way they did, and didn’t think too hard “well does the video actually show the crime, or just show mayhem in general?” They focused on the optics over the elements.

/3 It’s nice to have crime on video but there is a great danger of video making a prosecution overconfident and complacent. I won a prison riot case years back when I was on the Indigent Defense Panel because of that — the prosecution was overconfident in the video.

/2 There was a broad consensus in 1992 — among people like those likely reading this thread — that the Rodney King video inarguably showed illegal police brutality. The cops were acquitted. LA burned. For multiple reasons the jurors didn’t share that reality or perception.
