That is not the same as saying that without the watermark the evidence would
have been thrown out or even that it would not have been given such probative
value.  The perpetrator, Joseph Smith, was identified by numerous people who
knew him after they saw the video on the news.  Police found DNA evidence on
Carlie's body and in Smith's car which would were more important at trial than
the video.  The video was more important in getting help from the public
identifying the suspect than as courtroom evidence.  That is not to say that
the video was not important -- only that it was but one piece of a raft of
damning evidence.
