Highway cameras track an accused killer in an SUV travelling across Toronto before and after a double murder. A neighbour’s street-facing home security camera captures a man slashing his estranged wife to death with a machete in a driveway across the street.
These are just two examples from recent murder trials at the downtown Superior Court, where judges and juries routinely gaze for hours at computer monitors showing video footage and other digital evidence.
Fifteen years ago it was rare for a killing to be caught on video.
