Now, according to TMZ, a Judge has ordered video footage of the incident to be turned over.

Irvin’s lawyer filed a motion that stated that the hotel where the alleged incident occurred would have to send the footage of the interaction to Irvin. Levi McCathern, his lawyer, believes that this could help in exonerating Irvin. The judge granted the motion, stating that the footage should reach the former WR by February 20. Here’s how the NFL world reacted to this update.
