"Justice has to be seen to be done": The Power of Video Evidence

BTS with CTV News Vancouver

Canadian courtrooms and inquests are almost always closed to cameras, meaning the process is often opaque and difficult for the public to understand and connect with. CTV News is always trying to access video and photo evidence available in open court to better explain to our viewers and readers what happened, who was responsible and why changes may be necessary.
host Penny Daflos gets the details on a recent battle for a disturbing video from a Coroner's Inquest from journalist Maria Weisgarber while Managing Editor Ethan Faber describes what's at stake, and how video evidence has had powerful implications for laws, public policy and even nation-wide policing.BTS with CTV Vancouver
