Video cameras in squad cars were "not operational" when police officers shot and killed a college football player during a disturbance outside a bar, prosecutors said in a document released Tuesday.
The Westchester County District Attorney's Office filed the document in objecting to a request from a lawyer for the student's family to view audio and video recordings of the shooting.
"As to video recordings made by the Mount Pleasant and Pleasantville police departments, Mount Pleasant has no video cameras installed in their patrol cars, while Pleasantville does, but an examination of the hard drives of those cameras reveals they were not operational during the shooting incident," the court document says. It does not say why the cameras were not operating.
