This case happened and there is at least one copy of the clip that has none of the flaws this VHS tape has. I happen to be a former major crimes detective, homicide investigator, and deputy medical examiner. In other words, that comment comes from genuine ignorance. The comment below mine has to be written by someone with no knowledge whatsoever about criminal justice, the legal system, law enforcement obligations, and not even the slightest amount of knowledge about medicolegal death investigations. This case is a publicly reported and law enforcement investigated suicide. There is one person who has not watched the footage to this day: Andy Parker himself.That anyone would post such a statement about the young woman's last moments being some hoax or faked suicide is beyond disrespectful and just plain arrogant. But to Parker's despair, versions of it persist seven years on.
In statements, both Facebook and YouTube said they remain committed to removing the footage whenever they catch it or it is flagged. Parker with the additional copyright license" to force social media sites to remove it "if it is being used inappropriately."īut without actual ownership, Parker contends this is useless. He said the company has "repeatedly offered to provide Mr. Kevin Latek, chief legal officer for Gray Television, insists that their footage does not actually depict the murder, since the "video does not show the assailant or the shootings during the horrific incident." The company even accuse him of leaving "threatening and harassing voicemails for Gray Television employees at all levels." He did not inform Gray Television of his intentions according to the Post, his relationship with the company has broken down amid the ongoing dispute. While he does not own copyright of the footage shot by Ward - WDBJ parent company Gray Television does - he nevertheless created an NFT of the tape on Rarible in an effort to gain control of it, and thus more power to go after any platforms hosting it. Which is why Andy Parker is attempting the copyright route, which is more effectively policed. Although such violent videos clearly violate their policies, under current law, the companies are largely protected from liability on the content users upload. While big platforms such as Facebook and YouTube have taken down thousands of the clips, dozens remain, there and elsewhere.
