He went on to explain that the security cameras in Sephora have a highly sophisticated zoom feature and records in High Definition.
Ray revealed that he viewed these features in real time, watching one camera zoom to his client’s purse.
“You could literally watch a little tiny mascara stick fall in, go drop to the bottom, [and close it up],” the lawyer said.
