Thanks for suggesting yet a third interpretation to me!

1)  "Trial prosecutor for case of someone who killed a baby [says]
'Video doesn't lie'."
2)  "Trial prosecutor who killed a baby [says] 'Video doesn't lie'."
and the third being:
3)   "Baby who killed trial prosecutor [says, while in the act]
'Video doesn't lie'."

But since in this case the prosecutor doesn't present anything,
perhaps Dan is seeing a fourth interpretation.
