CLEVELAND - A 5 On Your Side investigation has reviewed the video surveillance system trained on accused serial killer Anthony Sowell's home, revealing every angle and all five cameras.

Prosecutors seized the video tapes as evidence and defense attorneys are spending $15,000 in taxpayer funds to hire personnel to study the tapes that were trained on Sowell's home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The camera's were originally installed at Ray's Sausage Company, next door to Sowell's home, as a crime fighting deterent for drug activity in the neighborhood.

But a 5 on Your Side review of the video surveillance system reveals high quality images of Sowell's home from several angles.

Monday at 11, a NewsChannel5 investigation will show you every camera and every angle so you can judge for yourself if taxpayer dollars are being well spent by Sowell's attorneys, who are now reviewing the tapes.
