That's the part I find the most shocking in this article. Aren't trials supposed to be fair? What are the kind of evidences that are not allowed to be shown?

She has maintained that Officer Bovell groped her breast, and that she reacted without knowing he was a police officer. He has denied that he touched her breast. The shaky videos showed Ms. McMillan, a labor organizer, in a bright green dress, jumping back and planting her elbow in Officer Bovell’s face. “She crouched down and lunged backward, elbowing me in the eye,” Officer Bovell said. “It’s like a white light in the face.”" http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/17/nyregion/officer-stands-by-his-account-of-scuffle-at-occupy-wall-street-protest.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/17/nyregion/officer-stands-by...
