Judge Denies Release of Murder Suspect's Bodycam Video
28 Nov
Summary
- Judge denied request for bodycam video release.
- Former lieutenant charged with murder following a chase.
- Prosecutors cited fair trial concerns for denial.
A recent court decision has seen a judge deny a request from Channel 9 to release body camera video pertinent to a murder investigation. The case involves Carlos Uribe, a former police lieutenant, who faces charges of murder in connection with the death of Camden Childers.
Investigators allege that Uribe shot the 21-year-old victim under circumstances where his hands were behind his back. The incident occurred in Newton over the summer, following a police pursuit.
Prosecutors strongly opposed the release of the video evidence. They successfully convinced the court that making the footage public could significantly harm the prospects of ensuring a fair trial for the accused lieutenant.
