Your Attorney needs to subpoena the tape. This will no doubt be fought by Walmart. Walmart may not save tapes of non incidents so unless this tape was part of an actual Walmart incident (like shoplift or accident) they may not have saved it. Your Attorney needs ot contact Walmart ASAP as it may already be too late and any tape may be recorded over or destroyed
Get a subpoena. This will require them to deliver it.
Subpoena it, and do so quickly before they erase or dispose of it.
Get an approval from your own court claiming it to be important.
You have your lawyer subpoena the tapes for that date and time. If you don't have a lawyer, you should get one. If you're still not going to get one, request the subpoena yourself using the correct court paperwork for such things.
Wal-Mart plays hardball when it comes to court appearances. Stop being nice and subpoena it. Subpoena the general manager of that Wal-Mart (by name) to appear at a deposition and bring the video. You'll need his testimony to authenticate the video in order for it to be admitted as evidence.

They should be able to easily get it. You may have to ask the court to request it.


Once I was at Target and there was a dispute about how many items I had paid for. They had the video out in about 5 minutes.
