"During a preliminary hearing last month, prosecutors played portions of Paul Pelosi's 911 call plus footage from Capitol police surveillance cameras, body cameras worn by the two police officers who arrived at the house, and video from DePape's interview with police. However, when news organizations asked for copies of that evidence, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office refused to release it. The district attorney's office argued releasing the footage publicly would only allow people to manipulate it in their quest to spread false information. However, the news agencies argued it was vital for prosecutors to publicly share their evidence that could debunk any false information swirling on the internet about the attack, according to The Associated Press." Paul Pelosi attack video ordered to be released by California judge
I'm on the fence here about releasing the footage.
On the one hand, I agree that it
could debunk the claims out there that don't paint Pelosi in a flattering light.
On the other hand, I think it might already be too late. The intentional lack of transparency only fueled all that sort of thing so it may now be a case of folks seeing what they want to see.
Then on the other hand (I had to grow another arm just for this case!) I really
do not want to see that nutter beating on an old man with a hammer. Ugh, no thank you.
