I actually thought he wanted to see the video to be sure we had a case before going forward.
I still intend to cease all discussion (from my end) on this matter until the appropriate time, but before I do, I feel like I need to correct something I was mistaken about. Above, I referenced a judge signing off on an order. That completely came from me
and I was 100% wrong. What was told to me in my very first conversation, the day after, was that the attorney would get the video. He said he may have to subpoena to get it, but that he would get it. It was me that mistakenly thought a subpoena involved a judge.
As it turns out there wasn't even a subpoena necessary. He simply requested the video of the back-room incident and it was voluntarily sent to him. At the same time he requested the video of the first part of the incident which took place on the casino floor and that was denied. This is why I only saw the video from the back room when I was at his office.
I have no idea what the difference is between the two videos, one being on the casino floor and one being off the casino floor in a back room, or why there is a different standard. At some point I will ask, but it is not going to be right now. I also presume at some point he will do whatever necessary to get the video from the casino floor as that shows the security guard holding my arm, which seems an important detail to me.
I am sure some won't accept this and say I am revising and changing the story. That is fine. It is simply a case of I am not a lawyer or legal expert and was mistaken. I am learning as I go with this incident.
