Cristina and Jordan are in your criminal justice class, and you are working on this project as a team. As a team, you must analyze the cases and determine some answers to how the video is used as evidence.
For each answer you give, you only need to provide one to two sentences or a bulleted list of ideas. Be sure to use reasoning from the lesson to demonstrate your understanding of video evidence.
Case 1: Mandy
Mandy volunteered in a month-long sleep study at the university last year. She was asked to participate because of her unusual sleep habits and neurological history. Part of the sleep study included her sleeping in a room inside the lab for the entire month. She was videotaped while she slept.
Now, 13 months later, police are trying to charge Mandy with possession and use of illegal drugs. It turns out she was using drugs during her stay at the sleep lab. Her drug use was recorded in the lab videos. She’s not sure how or why police saw the videos. She knew she was being videotaped, although she was told it was only for the study and that no one outside the lab would view the footage.
Would the video evidence be helpful to proving the case? (Answer in one to two sentences. Explain your reasoning.)
Refer to the previous question.
Should the video evidence be admissible in this case? Why or why not? (Answer in one to two sentences. Explain your reasoning.)
Refer to the previous two questions.
Are there technical problems with the video evidence? What about other valid objections to the video? If so, what are they and how could they be overcome? (Answer in one to two sentences. Explain your reasoning.)    
Case 2: Salimah
Salimah is being prosecuted for disturbing the peace while participating in a demonstration she organized about a month ago. She wants to introduce cell phone video footage from that day to show the conditions at the time of the alleged disturbance. Her point is that if the jury can see how confusing and chaotic everything was, they’ll see that she did nothing to make the problem worse. They will see that she was, in fact, trying to protect herself within the crowd. Salimah is also arguing that the police were unlawfully arresting people to shut down the demonstration.
Would the video evidence be helpful for Salimah’s defense? (Answer in one to two sentences. Explain your reasoning.)
Refer to the previous question.
Should the video evidence be admissible in this case? Why or why not? (Answer in one to two sentences. Explain your reasoning.)

Are there technical problems with the video evidence? What about other valid objections to the video? If so, what are they and how could they be overcome? (Answer in one to two sentences. Explain your reasoning.)
Case 3: Lorne
Lorne is charged with assaulting his brother with a deadly weapon. There is no dispute about his identity. The main issue for trial is whether or not he intended to cause serious harm to his brother. The prosecutor wants to introduce a video taken of Lorne at his brother’s wedding, three years earlier. Lorne, in a drunken rage, lunged at his brother with a steak knife, screaming that he would kill him. Since the weapon in this case is also a knife, the prosecutor feels the video shows that Lorne has murderous intent toward his brother and uses knives as weapons.
