Q: Grainy video footage of someone hunting on ur property to where u can't tell who it is Van a person be charged
Wildlife officer said he had video footage of a friend of mine hunting but my friend said he wasn't the one hunting & u can't tell who the person is on video but my friend is in jail who is a felon. Trying to get him with a gun charge.
A: Grainy video footage likely isn't enough, standing alone, to persuade a jury of a person's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Tell your friend to listen carefully to his lawyer, learn as much as he can about any other evidence the State may have against him, and don't be afraid to trust the jury if all they truly have is grainy video footage where you can't even tell who the person is despite him being your friend.
