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
