Evidence drawn from this source

Hull's sworn account of the event-video chain: a flash drive, downloadable versions, and a statement collected eight months later

what the source states
Hull: "TPUSA had a videographer, Visual Impulse, who was taking coverage of the event, and they provided video to us that they had captured on September 10th of 2025." "Mr. Farnsworth originally provided, I believe, a flash drive to Lieutenant O'Brien... and a short time after that on September 10th, he provided downloadable versions, electronic versions to Agent Mortenson, and an 1102 was collected from him on May 6th of 2026."
what we infer
Same-day receipt of COPIES is sworn; the testimony is silent on original cards, and the contractor's formal statement was not collected until May 2026 — which is why KRK-C012 stays unresolved rather than supported or refuted.
limitations

Defense objection: clips were made from larger videos by persons unknown; judge separately excluded an altered compilation

what the source states
Defense counsel Nestor: "We also would like to cross-examine Mr. Farnsworth about whether or not, and to what extent these videos may have been altered in any way. It is clear that clips were being made out of the larger videos... So obviously someone made clips, and we don't know who, and we don't know how, we don't know what they did." On a separate compilation exhibit, Judge Graf: "I'm sustaining the objection. Typically, when exhibits are admitted to the court, it is without alteration."
what we infer
The provenance question about derivative clips is in the court record from both the defense and the bench — it is not an internet invention.
limitations
  • A provenance question is not evidence of alteration; no altered frame has been demonstrated publicly.
