RSA 91-A request and KingCast explains why the original Bruce McKay dash cam video of 5/11 with Liko Kenney may have been altered.

By Christopher King

First of all, Defendant Ayotte has not given me the days dates and times to come and review it Per order of the Court. But I gave her until Saturday so perhaps she is working on Saturday and will send an email then, or she just sent me the information snail mail so we shall see. Problem is, I have letters from Attorney Strelzin written AFTER I sent Kelly the meeting request on 18 March so I think she's planning an Appeal or she wants me to file a Motion for Contempt of Court. Time will tell, but why wouldn't she have allowed me to review it without a court order in the first place. It's a public record, simple, duh.

Second, think about how the video starts: Here is a version I've seen with Bruce's call to dispatch on it. Weird, huh. It's possible that someone dubbed that in using the dispatch call, as the version I have from the AG fun pack is nearly silent all the way, albeit with what I believe to be muffled sounds that may be brought up by my crew -- if and when we get a chance to hear it. Be that as it may, in one of the WMUR versions you can hear the wind rush as McKay accelerates at 19:10:00 and muffled voices at 19:13:10 and voices again at 19:14:20 and again at 19:15:30 when McKay is face-to-face with 3 time felon Gregory Floyd and still more at 19:15:40 as McKay bashes Liko's car and Liko raises both hands in shock and defense.

Third, there is no rhyme or reason to why the sound starts when it does, as McKay is already walking from his cruiser and almost at Liko's car when we hear the siren sound cut in. If he cut the mic on from the Tahoe we would have heard more audio because it took him several seconds to exit the vehicle and appear before Liko's car on the far side of the Tahoe. There is of course the possibility the McKay turned on his mic from his hip the instant before he walks on screen -- he's infamous for stunts like that -- but that doesn't square up with the muffled sounds heard throughout other portions of the video.

Fourth, per RSA 91-A and Illegally-withheld Homicide Protocol E(9)(h) read what I demand from Defendant Ayotte in terms of Chain of Custody in the comments.
