We defended a young man charged with the armed robbery of a car wash. The robbery was caught on surveillance video. The young man was seen and arrested in the vicinity of the car wash and was identified by the victim of the robbery. Although the individual in the video looked remarkably like our client, our careful review of the footage and our discussions with our client convinced us that we could prove that the man in the video was not our client.
We had an expert in photogrammetry examine the footage, go to the scene to take very specific measurements of the scene, and develop compelling evidence that the individual on the videotape was several inches taller than our client. On the eve of the trial, the prosecutor dismissed the case.
