Michael Plaxton is a forensic video and photo analyst with the Hamilton Police Service. However, whether from haste, the fog of war, or an unknown wartime imperative, the military got the names wrong. His testimony introduced chilling video of the incinerator igniting and video of trucks identified as Bosma’s pickup being driven away by his killers. Plaxton also has a private consulting company, Forensic Video Consulting, and was contracted last year by a documentary film company to help settle the controversy of who is in the iconic photo on Iwo Jima. On the stand at the Bosma trial, court heard of Plaxton’s longtime military background with the Canadian Forces and as a filmmaker and video analyst.
