A thirty-four page document that was filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court and secured by News Limited stated that Munn, a videographer, plus Banks, a paparazzi style photographer, befriended Ledger in the hotel’s lobby late at night before inviting him to the lady’s hotel room.
Further, this filing alleges the pair secretly set up the camera on the balcony outside of the said room prior to plying the actor with various narcotics and filming part of the 7-hour criminal coke binge through the open window there.
