LMPD Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel: “I would’ve activated it if I had it on.”
Attorney Nick Naiser: “That’s your story and you are sticking to it.”
Chief Gwinn-Villaroel: “That’s my statement.”
Attorney Naiser: “I want to show the jury some truth and transparency. Where’s the footage chief? Did you delete it?”
Attorney Naiser showed the courtroom a photo of the LMPD chief wearing the body camera in question.
Chief Gwinn-Villaroel responded to the evidence with a question, “Is this the day of the incident?”
Attorney Naiser: “Seven, six, and twenty-one. How are we supposed to believe you?”
In a statement following the incident, the LMPD Chief admits she “misspoke.”
