That’s not how it went down. There was first the leaked video of a monitor to Gutman. Then the Daily Caller and ABC and others enhanced it to clearly show something was there. It wasn’t unitl a few days later the SPD put out the raw clean video. Why they eventually put it out is specualtion. Just to clear the record after countless news cycles of “He’s not even hurt!”?? In sympathy for a person being railroaded??

The truth is more than likely somewhere in between because there were three videos -- the blurred showing nothing, the less blurred showing something, and the clear showing obvious injuries.

Odds are the leaked video showed some injuries and had to be doctored somewhat by Gutman at ABC to obscure them until the injuries disappeared.

Then the SPD decided that since the video is already out there, they should release the raw video to the press to clear things up.

The leaker [Serino] got wind of that decision and gave Gutman a heads up that the raw video was coming out. That's when Gutman rushed to cover his tracks and rereleased the leaked undoctored video with the story that ABC experts had just "enhanced" it and now they could see something there, making themselves appear as journalistic heroes, the great enhancers of obscured truths.

They never enhanced anything. They just released the leaked video as it was when they got it and called it "enhanced".

They went with this "enhanced" video myth for about a day until the clear SPD raw video hit the aire, then were forced to go with that.

What a bunch of prefabricators. And Gutman is still there reporting and ABC is still on the aire enhancing nothing just obscuring the facts as always.
