People v. Anaya

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of 1 count of armed habitual criminal and 1 count of possession of a firearm by a felon. State admitted that it lost the squad car dash camera video exhibit shown at trial and relied upon by both parties in closing argument. Video footage is neither exculpatory nor material to any credibility determination and thus is not indispensable to a sufficiency of evidence challenge; testimony of State's 2 eyewitnesses supplies an adequate substitute.(LAVIN and COGHLAN, concurring.)
