#34 Your Camera Wasn’t Broken, Man
So I was fighting a DWI case and the cop was a liar. He was telling big lies about what signs he saw on the field sobriety test, alleging that my client was intoxicated. The state had not moved expeditiously enough to have a copy of all of the evidence in the case. So we got him up on the stand talking all about how my clients looked on the horizontal gaze nystagmus eye test, then buried him with his own body camera footage which he thought had been destroyed. It wasn’t. The judge, the newly elected Democrat in Texas, made findings on the record that the police officer had intentionally lied and misrepresented the truth. The state still tried to fight the case, but it came out the right way.
