About

Louis Jutras described Canton’s security-camera systems and his retrieval of requested footage from Pequitside Farm, the library, and town hall. He said he exported Washington Street footage for the requested overnight and morning periods and sent it to Trooper Dunne. He also testified that GPS information for town public-works trucks was reported unavailable during the January snowstorm. Questioned by defense counsel David Yannetti about the library footage, Jutras said he checked its beginning and ending times but did not watch every second. He said he supplied the raw, motion-activated footage, was not asked by a state trooper to preserve it beyond the town system’s retention period of less than 30 days, and could not recreate another copy when one was later requested. He did not know how police preserved the copy they received.
