Keanu Jury Watches Shutterbug Fly After Britney

Defense shows video of paparazzo using his supposedly damaged left hand to scale a fence to shoot video of Britney Spears

The paparazzo suing Keanu Reeves gives new meaning to the term moving pictures.

In court Thursday, Reeves' attorney played a video showing plaintiff Alison Silva scaling a razor-wire fence in order to shoot video of Britney Spears and then using his left hand to brace himself and keep his balance while climbing down.

The shutterbug testified yesterday that he's barely been able to work since his left hand was badly injured when Reeves' Porsche knocked him over in March 2007.

"That was a good video," an unabashed Silva said in court today, going on to explain that he can no longer hold a still camera, so he has switched to shooting video with his right hand.

And yes, he climbs the occasional fence.

But the video, taken from Silva's website, was only one of several contradictory pieces of evidence introduced by Reeves' camp, which contends that Silva tripped and that the Constantine star's car was nowhere near him.

Witnesses have pointed out contradictions in the details Silva gave at the time to paramedics, law enforcement and other bystanders. But the Brazilian-born photographer, claiming that his English isn't great, said that he sometimes has trouble communicating in his nonnative tongue.

He also admitted that he told a man who lived nearby who had come to the parking lot to check on him that he didn't think Reeves had hit him on purpose.

"I didn't believe he wanted to run me over," Silva said.

Silva also acknowledged on the stand that he couldn't provide proof that he had been earning $4,000 to $6,000 a month before the accident, as he claimed in his appeal for damages.

"Isn't it a fact that Mr. Reeves never struck you and that you stumbled and fell after walking backward and that you put forward a number of false claims about what happened that night?" Reeves' attorney Mark M. Williams asked Silva pointedly.

"No, that's not true," Silva said.

Also Thursday, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy testified that neither Silva nor Reeves' car had any marks indicating that a collision took place.

After some a.m. testimony and closing arguments, the case is expected to be handed over to the jury Friday afternoon.
