The prosecution was told that they could use the video if they could provide testimony that it was unchanged by the process that they wanted to use. They didn't do so. Why not?

Your spin is that they shouldn't have to. And yet they did (as did the defense) for their other use of video. Why did they do that if the sky is blue and the grass is green?

Either way - your statement was false. The judge did not allow the defense to do something that he forbade the prosecution from doing. Both sides were allowed to show zoomed images.


On edit - They later did the same thing with an enlargement of the frame involved... and had an expert who could be cross-examined. The witness essentially admitted the defense's concerns were valid. The image was admitted and shown to the jury. Which leaves precisely nothing to your concern.
