Transferring home videos from tape to PC is a common and inexpensive consumer practice today. Tapes are cheap and trashing them after use for recording of incriminating evidence is an effective way to get rid of that copy. Once transferred to PC users can also now easily encrypt the videos. Eventually only the ignorant criminals that record their crimes will be in such embarrassing situations. steve At 04:44 PM 3/8/2004, R. A. Hettinga wrote:
Twelve jurors and two alternates sat almost unblinkingly in a 10th-floor courtroom and watched a 21-minute videotape on two television monitors.
Some squirmed in the swivel seats in the jury box but their eyes remained riveted on the screens, watching images of two men having sex with an apparently unconscious woman in a Newport Beach apartment as techno music droned in the background.
The trial of Allen Ward Crocker provided jurors with a rare chance to see exactly what happened in a case of alleged sexual assault.
They face trial next month in the alleged rape of an unconscious 16-year-old girl in July 2002.
Haidl, 18, videotaped the encounter in Newport Beach, and now prosecutors are using those images against him.
