The accused has to back up his story or the deal falls through. What I can see is that the Crown and the police aren't that interested in what Ford did.
Yeah sure, the mayor doesn't have any influence with his police department? Even if it is shown to be Ford in the video, I don't see there being any criminal charges being brought against him, so the police would be happy to sweep it under the rug.
Don't forget it isn't only the criminal's word that says the video exists and even the prosecution says it exists so attacking him, isn't germane. Lets just see the video.

It's been long speculated that Rob Ford and Toronto's chief of police, Bill Blair, do not get along. I have little doubt that Blair would be very eager to embarrass Ford should the video be legit.
