Nanny Sues Hidden-Camera Manufacturer

A nanny who was arrested after police viewed hidden camera video recordings that appeared to show her shaking a 5-month-old baby is suing the recording system's manufacturer.
Claudia Muro, 32, alleges that distorted camera footage wrongfully led to her arrest and imprisonment. She was arrested in October 2003 and spent two years awaiting trial before prosecutors dropped the case because of concerns about the tape.

Broward County prosecutors in March said experts they had consulted concluded the footage was not reliable as evidence because its videotape was time-lapsed, meaning that the movements that appeared to be rough shaking might not have been as violent as they appeared.

Lemmie get this straight--the defense attorneys, prosecutor, and law enforcement, were all completely incompetent in not checking out the camera. So it's the camera manufacturer that's at fault even tho it's well-known that many surveillance cameras use time-lapse photography?
