Case Study:
In attempting to have her embezzlement conviction reversed, in McHenry v. State of Indiana, the defendant argued that the use of a videotape recording system that took moving pictures of her criminal activities in the bank as a teller should not have been used against her. At trial, the custodian of records for the bank verified that the tape was a regularly conducted business activity of the bank and that she [the records custodian] had examined the video records to verify that the system was in proper working order the time of the recording.
The Defendant believed that the prosecution failed to offer a proper authentication of the bank videotape and that there had been no proof that the videotape was a business record.
Discussion Question
Should the trial judge have allowed the videotape recording of the defendant’s activity in evidence against the Defendant at her trial for embezzlement? Was the videotape recording properly authenticated?
