court judge jeffrey foster basically ruled in part there was a compelling reason for the family to see what is on these body cam reportings. so he ruled that just one family member, an dry brown'se body cam recordings of what happened last wednesday. he ordered the release in no less than 30 days and no more than 45 days. there was a request by the media to have those recordings released to the public. that request was denied. there are a lot of other significant developments that took place in the courtroom as well. we learned a lot more about what may have been happened last wednesday. the d.a. basically arguing brown's car allegedly made contact with the deputies twice before those deputies opened fire. the d.a. arguing that brown's card made contact once when he backed up, and then made contact again when he moved forward. basically this ruling, alisyn, was met with mixed reaction by both sides. >> let's not get distracted. an innocent man was gunned down, shot in the back of the head, vehicle riddled with bullets from the rear. i heard statements being made, well, he might have hit the deputies, or we might have did that. well, show us the video. show us the tape. >> we're

jeffrey foster ruled that the public disclosure of the body worn footage -- and there are four videos -- a total of five cameras. videos will not be publicly released for at least 30 days. but that brownion to do so and it would taint any fairness in the trial, particularly with those deputies on administrative leave. what we did learn -- and remember we don't know anything about this investigation other than what the authorities will tell us -- we learned from the d.a. that brown's vehicle came in contact -- made contact, not once, but twice with the deputies. that is significant because i asked tommy wooton early this morning about the use of force this morning with the pasquotank sheriff's department. he said if you have a situation where deputies felt that their lives or those around them were threatened, they could use force. the d.a. was admonishing the brown family attorney for her mischaracterization and his words of what they saw in that 22nd video. ultimately, another take away from today was not sheriff tommy wooten, who has been under intense scrutiny, had his county attorney arguing for the public release. he put out a statement saying he was disappointed. this morning wh
