incredible work by lawyer. how do you even find out that their is some unaired footage of a TV show that contained footage of a game you client claimed to be at? Then, going through the footage to find your client in the stands. insane.
IIRC after basically begging the guy to remember if there was ANY evidence he had been at the game, since the CCTV footage had been thrown out as evidence for being too low-quality to say it was him, he eventually remembered that there was a camera crew he walked past on the way back from the bathroom.
The lawyer contacted the stadium who told him which network they were from, then he contacted the network and had to convince them to tell him what show it was for. Then he had to contact the producers of the show and beg them to let him see the unaired footage and it was just his luck that the accused guy just so happened to have been caught on camera for about 2 seconds of time-stamped footage as he walked past.
If they hadn't been rolling at the time he came back from the bathroom, or if he had taken a route that put him out of camera shot, there would have been no admissable evidence that he was at the game at the time of the murder.
