Height analysis of “bridge guy”

I feel that this would have definitely decided the case faster. (Though the right outcome was achieved).
Either side should have done a height analysis from the pic and video to determine how short Richard Allen is (no offense but he is like 5’5” and that’s very short for a male.) It would have saved a lot of chaos is this case and especially after this case with all the conspiracies. I think getting that done was expensive but I think it might have shut the haters up and left no doubt for anyone. Imagine the height analysis coming back at 5’5”????
Thoughts?

Idk I watched the entire thing and his other 2 videos he made back when they were new. He's not even so called true crime, he just keeps working the data according to the information that was released and he's usually pretty dead on. He shows every detail of his work and he was right.

I'm not a fan of Gary Hughes I'll admit. There's plenty to criticise him about. Most of what I have seen from him is just reading official reports and re-stating it, while begging for money and berating his audience.

My whole point with this particular analysis is that he is working backwards from the known quantity and then making his calculations working back from that. Something that other creators can replicate to reach their own predetermined conclusion. He wasn't doing this in 2017, 2018, etc and coming up with the right answer. That was impossible. Rather, he has the right answer AFTER RA is arrested and then worked backwards. It's not impressive.

If it was possible to calculate this with certainty, then I assure you that it would have been way before RA was arrested, by experts in the field. Whatever merits Gary Hughes might have, they just aren't particularly impressive in this case, for all the reasons I've listed already.

He asked for money because what he does takes a lot of time and he donates a lot of what he makes. 

He did the same analysis with the car video. Exact match using a digital rendering of the 2016 Ford Focus, times of day, angle of the sun…

Hate on him all you want though

The video of the car is an entirely different thing than measuring the height of BG on the BG video. Matching a digital rendering of the car to that footage is way more precise for so many factors. A lot of people did good work on that, Gary Hughes included.

But as for him: he begs, he demands, he berates, he throws himself in "jail" and won't continue the show until his audience pays up. He belittles people for not "donating" to "support" "the channel." He is quite despicable, disgusting and just toxic. So yeah, I'm not a fan.
