That's the nice thing about modern phones: you can record a video, upload it, and then log out all in a matter of seconds if you know what you're doing.

Public defender. If you want to see a look of pure joy, hand your public defender a copy of the video exonerating you. As you say, it will make your case much, much easier. Less paperwork is, for a public defender, like Christmas for children. Not only that, but like teachers often public defenders do their tireless, thankless, low-paying jobs because they're idealistic and want to do good. Freeing an innocent person is going to make their day.
