Uh for me, it was critical. Uh and uh it it it appears to have been a critical part of the case uh when when this got to caught too. Uh Lori was eventually found not guilty of all charges that that were brought against him, uh, with the exception of failing to provide details that was tossed out of court because it wasn't a crime. Uh but the the CCTV evidence was absolutely critical. And um uh the private investigator Mike Saban, who did the work on this uh on this case, um, he did an amazing job of getting the uh body camera footage from the security guards, the CCTV footage from the city's security system uh and the footage from uh the police uh Sally Port in cells, the Sally Port being where they uh take a prisoner into custody. Uh this was footage that uh police had originally said was too grainy and had no evidential value. Um I'd I'd suggest to anybody that wants to know more about the case, go to the Herald website, find the video piece that's done on there. There is a lot of CCTV footage there. Uh and to my eyes, it is not too grainy to be able to reach conclusions as to what transpired.
