I have recently been tipped off to look for information in the surveillance tape. Ashley & Blue had the release of the full surveillance tape suppressed because of the “graphic nature” they do not want to relive. As understandable as that is, I am thinking there are other reasons the tape was never released.
CBS got a computer animated version of the surveillance tape that is allegedly true to the real surveillance tape. Here is a still shot from that version:
Notice two left-handed people with rifles come in the front to Byrd, while one right-handed person with a handgun comes in the back. In watching the rest of the video, the first shot to Byrd Billings leg was done by the person who entered from the back, the right-handed gunman; then they all proceed with Melanie into the closet. Three assailants and two victims move to the closet. Each of the assailants alternatively shoot both Melanie and Byrd.
There are so many inconsistencies in this computerized version, at least according to the prosecution team. They cannot account for the 2 lefties and 1 righty. The number of people in the house is not consistent with their case. The fact there are 3 shooters when there allegedly was only one shooter according to the Bill Eddins. None of the facts of this tape jive with the prosecutor’s version.
