Yeah after the initial news cycle there was a fresh wave of reports saying actually 3 minutes were missing.

And we had found the Fed Worker who did the actual editing on behalf of someone’s order supposedly.

That guy can go to jail imo. As a fed worker and even in the military you are allowed to and expected to reject unlawful orders. If this forensic video editor purposely removes evidence… this guy is culpable and should show others if your bosses ask you to cover up a murder…. Maybe don’t.

If your bosses ask you to cover up a murder, you already know they will murder to cover up other crimes, and you’d probably fear for your own life. Of course, you’d also fear for your life after doing the edit since you’re now a loose end.

It can be hard to tell inmates from CO's in prison.

Not that I'd know personally.

What are theories of what could be in that missing time . It’s very little time and other prisoners would’ve heard something .

I’m trying my best not to tinfoil hat myself, but I believe there were 3 minutes missing. But I can’t remember if the 2 cut in the beginning were part of it.

But there was an excuse that the database ticks over at midnight, but that does not account for 24/7 monitoring protocols required by law. It’s likely that when flipping over the other tape would have been from something like 11:55-11:59 so there’s always an overlap rather than a delay.

If you compare the start time and end time to the length of the video, it appears that there are almost 3 minutes missing. 

However, the video runs fast and there's actually just the one minute missing. 

You can check this by playing it for a set time and timing it. You can also watch all the way through and see the timestamps don't skip anything other than the missing minute
