Everybody including the judge knows why they wanted that video. It was to intimidate the jurors. I don't know why he went so light on the person.

And, unless the person was "New" to this, that video likely still exists...

The defense should ask for the directed verdict as soon as the state rests. Its essentially saying as a matter of law, the state failed to put on evidence of at least one of the elements of the crime, so the case cant go to the jury. You can only ask for it, once the opposing party makes a representation that its done putting on evidence.
its a little more complicated than that when there is a justification like self defense at play, because there’s a couple more elements at work, but if the state cant overcome the justification, then a DV is appropriate.

You typically ask for it when the plaintiff/prosecution rests because that is all of their evidence. The defense may have additional evidence regarding self defense, but the idea of the directed verdict is that if the Plaintiff hasn't carried their burden of proof on an element of the crime/cause of action, then the judge can find as a matter of law that that crime/cause of action cannot be established.
There's no harm in asking for it even if you know 100% the judge will deny it, because what if they don't? The jury doesn't hear it so it's just a free shot at winning.

They didn't even attempt to demonstrate it making it clear that he was overcharged.
I can't believe we have gotten to a point that kitchen sink charging is just normal, acceptable, and the prosecution faces no consequences for it.

Kind of surprised, that was about the easiest thing in the world to prove isn't it? Were you out after curfew? Yay/nay
Though, they might also then have to charge all the witnesses and such with it to.

Judge said because the agent couldnt fully testify(it was interrupted?) none of it can be used.
