Re NY, the attorneys I saw on twitter (take that for what it’s worth)
Said they’ve had so many clients arrested and/or convicted based solely on a phone call like that NY call. The prosecutor would claim “why would the caller lie?”
The arrested person might not have money for bail, so then they get stuck in jail for potentially months over something like this. Then they might plead guilty simply to end the case.
These are defense attorneys, but you can see how videos are huge to help prove what happened. In our current justice system, a he said/she said doesn’t bode well for certain people, which kind of goes against the whole Justice is blind ideal we pretend exists.
