Defendant DEMANDS Missing Police Bodycam Footage in Court! Judge Sets Strict Order

Oct 14, 2025 UNITED STATES

At a probable cause conference, Judge reviewed ongoing discovery issues in Robert Sigsby’s case. The defense claimed that crucial evidence — including multiple police body camera videos — had not yet been provided. Mr. Sigsby alleged that an officer removed a bag of his personal Native American herb from his pocket, then placed it back before arresting him. He insisted this event was recorded and that numerous officers were present with body cams and cruiser cams, which should confirm his claim.

The prosecutor, Attorney Tim McGrath, explained that some body and dash cam footage had already been sent to Sigsby’s former attorney, and additional cruiser videos would be copied and delivered. However, confusion over who was responsible for discovery exchange caused delays. The judge expressed frustration that her prior order — requiring the prosecutor’s office to hand-deliver all outstanding discovery in court — was not followed.

A new order was issued: all remaining discovery must be placed on a flash drive and made available for pickup by Mr. Sigsby at the prosecutor’s office on Friday, September 5, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. The judge also postponed the probable cause conference to September 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., citing good cause due to discovery issues.

Mr. Sigsby reiterated that multiple agencies — including Burton Police, the Sheriff’s Department, and Flint Township officers — were present, and that at least one sergeant should have had an operational body camera. The court emphasized that any missing footage could be challenged later at trial, but proceedings would not be delayed further.
