    Lightbulb Using Personal Surveillance Video in Court

    I have been charged with domestic violence and terrorist threats by a girlfriend to whom I have a 5yr child with. no R.O. in conjuction with these charges was obtained. since this accusation the other party has gone and provided a statement with audio recording to the fact that she had done it out of anger and there was no fact to it and coached our daughter to provide a statement of myself threatening her mother. since that I was then threatened to do and provide certain things or she would change her story. then I was assulted by her and the next day our child was also, resulting in documentation, ie. Photos of her actions which resulted in our and I recieving a protective R.O. against her. I have a survailence system to which the girlfriend purchased for myself and helped install. She has since our R.O. gone and said the statement was forced. I have reviewed the contents of the survailence system and with poor picture am still able to have clear as day sound to which she is making the threats of which she is doing now and clearly states that her statement wasn't forced. She has been made aware of this recording. and has stated it was made with out her consent. Will I be able to use this recording under these circumstances? I have gone to the extent of having them also transcribed in order to provide an accurate testimony of the events to which took place. I am hoping to use in the event she continues to lie so I may pursue purgery. I understand washington to have this law : RCW 9.73.030 (2)(b) is there something similar for California residences?

    If you have video that shows something relevant to your case, and that contradicts the testimony of an accusing witness, I would expect it to be admitted. Talk to your lawyer.
