What action can I take after being attacked by 16 bouncers in the street outside a bar

I got arrested after being attacked by 16 bouncers in the street outside a bar. The bouncers lied to the police and said the whole incident happened inside the bar. My friend filed assault charges and the detective on the case claims they have a video tape of us leaving the bar before the fight. How do I go about obtaining the video for my trial. I checked at the courthouse but they said if there is a tape, the prosecution has not requested it so I cannot get it from them.

16 bouncers??? How big was this bar? To get the video tape you will need an attorney or act as your own attorney and use an investigator to get it. You are not allowed to collect evidence or interview witnesses in your own case.

What city was this in? I was in scottsdale and a similar situation happened to me at the Jack Rabbit Supper Club. I TRULY BELIEVE THEY HAVE CONSPIRED TOGETHER TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST CLAIMS. IT SEEMS THEY CREATED WITNESSES IN THEIR FAVOR. IN A VIDEO TAPE THERE WERE PLENTY OF WITNESSES AND THE ONE WITNESS THEY HAD DIDN'T APPEAR IN VIDEO.
