Exhibit A

All right. This is the section of fence that was down.

Right here. So they both came over.

Ground cover is about the same

as the photographs depict.

-This is a very tight space right here. -Yeah.

You can kind of imagine

coming through here, chasing somebody and running through all this.

Ultimately, there is a universal truth.

The problem is that all of us are human beings,

and so for us to get to that universal truth is not necessarily

something we're inherently capable of.

According to the officer,

he was reaching in his waistband turning around toward the officer

who thought he had a gun, and therefore the officer shot him.

No scientific analysis is ever perfect,

and if it were, then we would know the answers to everything.

There would be no mysteries whatsoever in the universe.

And of course, that's not true.

All right. We'll start scanning right here where the shooting took place.

Every time technology advances,

we get closer and closer to being able to reach that universal truth,

but we're certainly not there as human beings.

And so that means we're not there as forensic scientists, either.

So this particular one is an attempt murder

where somebody comes in and pours gasoline on this woman here.

These two suspects arrive.

We can actually track them when they go to the gas pump.

They get a little bit of a can of gas.

They then park their vehicle. We see them get out.

The owner, he lets them in, and she's carrying this can of accelerant

and I can-- What am I at? Times eight.

And I can keep kind of going through this and eventually...

...this woman spontaneously combusts. Ooh. There she goes.

So what happened?

We're going to assume the video is inaccurate.

We want to know how much we can rely on this video.

So I'm going to interrogate this witness.

Most people think that the video speaks for itself,

an image is worth a thousand words,

but these images are not what they appear to be in most cases.

So now, as I move through the images...

The camera is just another witness.

It needs to be interrogated, it needs to be examined and questioned.

Questioned with suspicion.

What happens is she comes in,

pours this accelerant over her.

The victim stands up, has a can of soda and pours the soda over the other woman.

Not really a fair fight.

And then, she has a lighter in her right hand,

and "poof."

Okay?

When we look at a crime scene, we have witnesses.

We ask all the witnesses, "What did you see? What did you perceive?"

Everybody should have a different perception.

The video is no different.

The camera might have a wide-angle lens,

the camera might be more sensitive to low light.

We never look at the camera as a foolproof witness,

because in most cases it's not going to be.

The expectation of the public is if it's on camera, it's real

and it's reliable. But it's not.

Video has been used in criminal cases

since the early '60s.

Patricia Hearst's robbery was all, you know, video.

Video is everywhere.

It's the most prolific source of evidence available to police today.

So if they're investigating a crime that occurs in a public area,

there's probably going to be video evidence,

cameras are being attached to police officers.

Lemme see your hands!

Every one of us is holding an evidence collection device,

a camera in our phones.

You don't touch me.

And so it's becoming a more important part

of criminal and civil investigations.

The first thing that a person needs to understand

when they look at video

is that it's made up of a series of still images.

Video is not motion.

Video is just a picture,

then a picture, then a picture, separated by time.

But there are many frailties with digital video evidence.

When you look at a surveillance video and you see somebody firing a weapon

and you only see two muzzle flashes,

it doesn't mean only two shots were fired.

Some of those shots might have happened between image capturing.

So if you have a high resolution image with multiple images per second,

you'll perceive maybe all shots.

That changes the evidence. It changes the meaning of the images.

We're going to be interrogating video over and over again

to test the question, "Is this video accurate?"

I've been doing this 30 years

and the most interesting photogrammetry case

that I've been involved in is the George Powell case, in Texas.

I'm always nervous when somebody says,

"This case is all about the video."

Are you ready to go?

How long are we getting?

- One hour. One hour. - That's it?

Um, okay, so where should we begin?

Is there anything pressing that you want to tell us right now?

Other than I'm innocent and I need you guys' help

as much as possible.

From 2003 until 2008,

I was here in Killeen, Texas to promote my music.

Man, I have to tell the truth.

I love Killeen, Texas.

I love them soldiers.

Them soldiers took care--

Them soldiers kept me alive,

buying my CDs for about five and a half years.

And everything cultivated into a dedication to the soldiers.

I started picking up on certain things

that the Killeen Police Department were doing to our soldiers.

They could be riding down the road with the music a little loud or a lot loud

if they wanted to.

And the police would pull them over

and write them a $2,000 ticket,

so they can increase the revenue for the city.

Okay, no crying now.

Okay? Promise?

One, two, three.

Okay, here we go.

Crunch away.

All right.

I know he did a song about soldiers and stuff like that

and about the cops.

Whatever he was going through is where his music led him.

So the struggles he was going through and whatnot is...

is where he got his inspiration to write.

GQUV, which I still don't get,

but it's Jesus Christ Ultra Violet.

So he was-- I mean, he's a character.

Do you have musical talent?

I mean, I was in choir for last year and that's about it.

That's the only musical talent I have.

George Powell had identity crisis.

He was this very tall white man that...

thought he was a black man.

I mean, I'm not saying because that's-- He listened to rap, that's all he did,

and music doesn't make you have identity crisis, but--

If you were speaking to him on the phone, unfortunately, I would hate to say...

So I'm not-- by no means being racist.

You would think you were talking to a black man on the phone.

He just had soul in him.

He just had soul.

And he was about that street life and he knew how to handle street life.

I was a motel manager at Lone Star Inn.

And George Powell,

he stayed there for several months,

but he paid nightly and he would try

to sell music CDs, bootleg.

Everybody that rented a room, he would try to do that hustle, like,

"Hey, I got your music here."

He was a character. He never bothered me,

but the police always messed with him

because he would see the police

and start cussing at them, like,

"Stop F'ing with us." And, "What are you F'ing with me for?

I ain't done nothing."

So of course when you approach a police officer like that,

they're going to address you now.

I was getting harassed by the Killeen Police Department,

behind the solicitation of my CD.

And they kept doing everything they could to try to run me out of Killeen, Texas.

I've been in jail for solicitation without a permit

probably around 150 times in five and a half years.

Every single one of them officers knows exactly who I am.

You see this guy right here?

That's me. I have the stab wounds in my back,

and I got the bloody footprints,

and I got a scope on my head.

Somebody's watching me.

Twin Towers.

George Bush's head in the smoke, you know.

the Scarlet Whore, you know, the Patriot Act,

all that, you know, choppers and stuff, you know...

America. Fuck yeah.

That's what that is.

George is an OG.

He's a pillar in the community.

He's a ghetto hero. He's a ghetto superstar.

He's one of the guys that was-- he used to keep everything together.

He used to, uh-- When we were doing the music,

he was one of the people that really tried to make it happen.

We had our community, and it's gone now!

Know what I mean?

You know, I'm a way worse guy than that guy.

I deserve to be where he is way more than he does.

Way more. And they know that.

They were mad because we're doing it legit...

-Legit. -...and we got out of the street.

That's what the fuck it was. Bottom line.

They said we're not supposed to make it.

We're thugs.

We're thugs.

What's up?

Is this what they call b-roll?
