Alec Tompras, an officer with 11 years on the job, testified that he did not know what blood stains looked like. “I couldn’t believe this was happening,” Kim testified, according to Gilmore’s ruling. In the video, Kim maintains his right to silence but is barely visible — only the back of his head and part of the right side of his face can be seen. Kim testified that he was held overnight, and the following day, after being granted bail, he went to hospital at the insistence of his mother, father and sister. As an experienced officer, Tompras had to have known that the purpose of a videotaped interview was to allow the accused to be seen on camera, Gilmore wrote.
