Evidence Tampering in Al-Dura Case?

The Mohammed Al-Dura case is one of the most infamous cases of media mendacity and the use of media as propaganda in the war against Israel.

Now, we come to learn that France's Channel 2, which captured 27 minutes of the incident on video produced only 18 minutes of the incident in court despite the judge knowing that 27 minutes existed and that the cameraman himself admitted there were 27 minutes of video.

In the US, this would be considered evidence tampering, obstruction of justice, and possibly perjury. I'm not quite sure what the French judge will call this, but it certainly undermines the media outlet's credibility. Richard Landes and Melanie Phillips have more on the case and the unfolding drama in the courtroom.
