Answer to Question 1

Demonstrative evidence may be defined as that evidence that either recreates a physical object, event, or experiment or that illustrates or serves to clarify matters brought forth in oral testimony. Unlike real evidence that stands on its own, demonstrative evidence requires more than mere authentication by a witness. Without it, jurors would be forced to draw conclusions based on incomplete information. Historically, examples of demonstrative evidence included things like maps, diagrams, sketches, and rudimentary experiments. However, exponential advances in technology have often granted jurors a retro box seat to events in question. Digital photography and video recordings have allowed jurors to visit remote crime scenes without ever leaving the courtroom. In-court demonstrations have further enabled them to visualize blood trajectory and spatter patterns, and computer-generated slide shows have captured their attention and encapsulated arguments
