Or it will look like government is crafting narrative.

I see no value in it. We are not privy to every detail and piece of evidence of every crime. Most of the time we only ever see what is produced at trial. Government need only prove guilt. I think, in these cases, guilt is pretty established.

Think of various deaths around the country. Law enforcement has photos of all kinds of things. Do we need to see all that?

We do not. There is no value in it, IMO.
