What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPackers running back Josh Jacobs is suing the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department to block the release of a video of an alleged attack.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith me is Zbigniew Marchetti, who runs a tire shop in Hobart.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Marchetti, your town is small. Has anyone there seen this video?
Zbigniew MarchettiGloria, I haven't seen it, but everybody says the camera was across the street, by the bank. I hear it was very shaky.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou haven't seen it, and you know where the camera was standing.
Zbigniew MarchettiThis is a small town.
Zbigniew MarchettiI haven't seen it, but a guy at the counter said you can hear a dog barking the whole time. Anyway, tires are half off Friday.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe suit asks a court to keep it from becoming public. Does a lawsuit like that make people more curious, or less?
Zbigniew MarchettiMore. I had three customers this morning who came in for an oil change and left with opinions.
Zbigniew MarchettiI haven't seen it, but the lighting is not great.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe lighting.
Zbigniew MarchettiI'm just repeating what I heard, Gloria. I haven't seen it, but the part where somebody drops a coffee, I won't say more.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Marchetti, it is alleged, nothing here is proven, and the court has not ruled. Let me ask you plainly: have you seen the video?
Zbigniew MarchettiNo, ma'am. I've only seen the lawsuit, the whole thing, twice, and honestly the font is worse than the video.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is the first thing you've seen all afternoon.
