Ray Rice's lawyer had the copy of the video on April 1 The Atlantic County prosecutor's office wanted to wait until after a jury heard the case in late March before giving the video to Michael Diamondstein, Rice's attorney. Diamondstein requested a copy from the casino on February 20. The casino's attorney told him that the police told him not to turn over any evidence while the investigation was underway.
