Presentation of Evidence
The prosecution presented an enhanced version of the video from Libby German’s phone, capturing "Bridge Guy" walking on the bridge shortly before the murders. They argued that the man in the video is Richard Allen. The defense attempted to limit the video's impact, claiming interpretations of its contents could be speculative.
