Even if the staffer did not adhere to policy, that does not mean that the information is insufficient for a criminal prosecution. Procedure is not the law. Violating procedure can result in discipline from the employer, but does not render any statements, observations, or other evidence inadmissible - by itself - in a court of law.
Oh, and it's not sucky for no promotion. My son who works there is going to school to be a Social Worker, and this job works with his college schedule.
As for the video, it may not exist now, but it may have existed at one time. We have had that problem before at out local store where we witnessed the video, but that the video could not be downloaded, or, was obliterated when they transitioned systems. That does not mean it does NOT exist. But, the employee's testimony of what he saw, and even if he saw video later, IS evidence, even if no hard copy of the video could be produced. How much weight it should be granted is up to the trier of fact.
