re: NFL did not have access to Elevator Video of Ray Rice incident.

quote:

We saw the TMZ video of what happened outside—when he was dragging her out unconscious—but inside, I'm told from those who have seen the video, it wasn't pretty. In fact, she attacks him—we don't know the reason why—and he strikes her, strikes her hard. And her head—according to the sources I've spoken to—struck the rail inside the elevator and she was unconscious.

The NFL was reported to have the same evidence as the police.

So someone managed to give Mortensen a play by play but no one saw the video.

I see reports that hotel staff are also saying that the NFL had access to the video. So someone is mistaken. I guess the NFL with it's security officers and power just couldn't have gotten the tape. Those things are certainly hard to get access to because I NEVER see them leaked.
