Journey to Justice
What does a prosecutor do when he has evidence linking a habitual drunk driver to a hit-and-run in which a child is killed, and he needs to make the crash clear to jurors? In this case, he combines the talents of an accident reconstruction expert with a video specialist to create a graphic demonstration of the moment of impact. This case was the first in which video in the courtroom withstood an appeal, and helped make “video testimony” viable in other cases.
