Extremely curious. And the original story that a third person let the cops in, followed by the story that they came in an unlocked front door (in SF at 2:30AM!), and now that Mr. Pelosi let them in and then backed away from them to stand next to his eventual assailant. The real details may never come out.

The attack is receiving a ton of press coverage.
So far, the alleged assailant has declared he is innocent.
If it goes to trial, the last thing we want is a tainted jury pool.

I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a Speaker Pelosi fan. But it makes sense to me that the DA is keeping the evidence under wraps.

I will disagree with you Maj John Bell Any DA...in ANY JURISDICTION...would gladly embrace the release of video coverage of ANY purported crime showing the SUSPECT in a negative light... ANY District Attorney...in ANY jurisdiction....(especially in the State of Michigan-I was there at one time many memories ago)...

You don't get that logic so I'll 'splain it to you... Tainting the JURY pool is exactly what you DESIRE when prosecuting ANYONE FOR ANYTHING. Your goal is... CONVICTION. You think that's the end of that line of thought? Tainting the jury has not been accepted buy the Courts for a very long time when the wants (not needs) of the media and public outweigh the criminal act...

The bottom line is... for the STATE IS CONVICTION.

The State, AKA Prosecution, gets the opportunity to show the mass just how bad an actor the SUSPECT is...before trial in EVERY criminal case that comes or is brought before them. The STATE OWNS the evidence... The STATE CONTROLS the FLOW of the EVIDENCE... The STATE DICTATES WHAT EVIDENCE WILL BE ENTERED INTO TESTIMONY AND THE COURTS... Not the defense. The Defense reacts to what evidence is going to be presented by the STATE, which is why a term called DISCLOSURE is a critical part of perfecting any DEFENSE... withholding evidence is what the STATE has been famous for doing for decades...

THE STATE CONTROLS WHO, WHAT, WHEN , HOW or WHY... in EVERY criminal case. Not the defense. The right to a fair trail...didn't include the STATE releasing selected portions of evidence a day or week, or 2,6 or even 18 months before trial.

Tainting the jury comes only into reality when your selecting the jury... not months before the jury is empaneled... People have short term memory loss and the longer it gets along, the long term memory loss kicks in if the jurors were not personally affected by the crime committed. The STATE gets the first shot across the bow...to make the crime so heinous that the juries long term memory will retain... "Bad guy... assault hammer... attempted murder"

So Major...do you get the gist yet? Just think about that logic for a spell and go back in time and try to recall any criminal case, high profile or one that affected you (if you've ever been a victim that is). Since I really enjoy Texas hold 'em... Fifty bucks of my hard earned disability social security check says you'll remember with critical accuracy the details of any crime committed against you...rather than a Hollywood actor. (I.e. what was the name of the girl shot by Alec Baldwin and where did she get shot, and with what type of gun and ammo?)

So with that logic in tow...which is now permanently lodged into your logical right side brain...and letting your left side brain create the illusions needed to formulate a scenario...

The DA in San Fran isn't going to release these videos not out of a lack of showing the SUSPECT in a bad light... but the video is going to show the Victim... in a poor light.... In my humble personal and former professional opinion Major.

and PS...

No current practicing prosecuting State attorney in their collective right minds will every tell you what I just did... I think they call that something like... a professional malfuckuping... lol...
