I was in what is called a state-of-the-art courtroom. In that case, there are large-scale monitors in front of each of the jurors. There are two very large television screens, one facing the public gallery and another one facing the court. Most of the evidence you're seeing in the trial is displayed on that monitor in front of you.
It was during the crown's closing argument that an autopsy image was purposely displayed on that screen. Again, by that point, I kept thinking to myself, “Why is that image necessary now? It's not going to suddenly be part of my decision-making apparatus as an individual. It's not going to change or create a new opinion for me. I'm not suddenly going to be swayed by this.”
You couldn't look away from it. You couldn't find a place in the room where you could place your eyes to at least hear the summation of the individual delivering the closing argument. All of the jury—and you could feel the energy coming from those around you—were shifting in their seats and feeling the same level of revulsion. Again, in reflection, this wasn't necessary; this was just some kind of showmanship.
