And when the prosecution is trying to infer from a single pixel what the defendant was doing, algorithms and artifacts matter. Just watch the trial.

  Yeah, nobody else was trying to say that some pixels in a greatly enlarged image meant anything until now. And no witnesses are there to testify to this gun being raised--small wonder, given that Zimminski is the one who fired the first shot, yet he wasn't even brought to court. They could have brought him in to testify, but didn't. This is the same trick they pulled with Grosskreutz, where the DA ordered them not to search his phone (despite them already having a signed search warrant for it) and they did not interview his, and only his, interview with the police. They also testified that they had never once done this before. I encourage more people to watch the actual trial. Some news outlets, particularly CNN, have engaged in highly selective reporting that's getting called out by all the people actually watching the trial. The ABC coverage where they put on Grosskreutz, and let him contradict his sworn testimony in court, despite there being photographic proof that he lied, not to mention physical evidence that he (and not Kyle) re-racked his gun, was especially crazy. I won't be surprised if this turns into a bunch of defamation suits in the future.
