re: #112 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

“If it comes out at some time that the method used produces unreliable results, this is going to fall like a house of cards” — the Rittenhouse judge on the prosecution using zoomed in video as part of its case

magnifying glasses: how do they work?

Technically it’s not the same. I see what argument the defense is going for; “technically correct is the best kind of correct.” Technically, they’re not wrong; digitally zooming in “adds pixels” to an image. It does this in ways that are difficult to describe to an elderly judge or a jury of 12 laypeople. The defense is relying on this fact to introduce doubt in what would otherwise be a clear video, and the judge is all on board with it.
