State prosecutors admit losing original video of anti-Arab ‘hate wedding’

During a court hearing Monday for the trial of several Jewish suspects accused of celebrating the murder of Palestinians while attending a wedding in December 2015, state prosecutors admit they lost the original video from the event.

The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court session had been listening to defense counsel examinations on the admissibility of evidence when the blunder came to light.

Prosecutors say the flash drive containing the video of the wedding was no longer with the rest of the evidence.

Honenu, a group which provides legal aid to far-right Jewish activists, says in a joint statement by defense attorneys that the development could undermine the entire trial and prevent further proceedings.
