About this listen
Snoop Dogg was acquitted of murder in Los Angeles through the use of creative computer-generated animation demonstrative evidence. In Louisiana, a prosecutor committed reversible error by encouraging an expert witness to put a turkey in a clothes dryer to simulate a babysitter killing a baby.
Accomplished prosecutor and bestselling author Morley Swingle uses real cases from his vast experience combined with trials from around the country to explain the complexities involved in presenting demonstrative evidence or fighting against it in a criminal trial.
In this highly listenable and often entertaining book, Swingle, a veteran trial lawyer with 178 jury trials and 111 homicide cases under his belt, explains how to admit or oppose demonstrative evidence, from traditional exhibits like photographs, diagrams, maps, models, charts, summaries and courtroom demonstrations, to newer types of demonstrative evidence such as computer-generated reenactments of violent crimes, riveting presentations of cell phone location records, or training videos explaining any type of scientific testing by an expert.
