Most of the incident was captured on video from multiple angles. Rather than argue that he didn't do it, Huston's defense is arguing that he had the right to drive through the protestors because his traffic light was green.

In the videos shown in court, many of which haven't been seen before, Huston's truck appears to approach a car at the light. When the light turned green, the truck is seen swerving around the car and comes up to the protestors who are crossing, before stopping when it collided with a pedestrian.

It's truly amazing what motorists think they can get away with.

Sir, you drove into people, human beings, with a 5,000 pound piece of metal. Guilty. Next case.
