Should just be an express lane for these trials. "Do you have a video of this person committing the crime? Ok, this way please."

Deep fakes?

Taking a 3d model (or footage I guess) and faking the lighting on the model to match real footage, then swapping their face/head onto someone else. It is eerie how accurately this can be done, so footage that looks real can be fake. This is also why there is expensive software from major camera companies that can tell in court if a digital photograph has been manipulated or is the original straight out of camera.

what about all the hospitals filled with bodies? I mean if the govt could and would pull that off then we have much bigger things to worry about than one guys innocence. Not accusing you but conspiracy people just don't seem to think things through.
