Re: assult charge

Chances are the video would be admissible, although at this point that is just a guess as I know very little about this situation. The State would bring the charges and it makes no difference if it was private property or not. I am reluctant to advise people to speak with the police unless I know everything there is about the situation and I don't here. The best way to handle this is to go consult with an attorney, let the attorney review the arrest papers and go from there.
