People v. Taylor 

High school night watchman was convicted of retail theft of cash from a locked office desk at high school. Court properly admitted surveillance videotape under "silent witness" theory, as State laid sufficient foundation and showed sufficient chain of custody. Police detective established foundation by testifying how recording was made, and showing chain of custody. Videotape could be viewed as an "original" because it was made by copying data from hard drive of digital recorder. Edits cannot affect reliability or trustworthiness of recording, and no evidence was shown that videotape was result of tampering or fabrication. (KILBRIDE, FREEMAN, THOMAS, GARMAN, KARMEIER, and THEIS, concurring.)
