Why it worked

The video uses a dramatic hook and a tense courtroom exchange to create intrigue. The suspect's provocative and evasive answers, contrasted with the serious nature of the trial, likely drove engagement and curiosity.

Summary

During a murder trial, detectives question a suspect about the death of Brian Low. The suspect makes several evasive and flippant remarks, including a comment about attractive ladies and a denial of any involvement. The prosecution then presents evidence that the suspect's CCTV was shut down on the day of the murder.
