More detail about this in later posts, but here's a great aid for people who like a little tech flexibility in the courtroom but don't want to search, rewind, apologize, fast forward, and generally make the jury feel sorry for you.
Any digital evidence can be cataloged and assigned a barcode. You get a notebook with all your possible bits of evidence --photos; video deposition clips; documents -- each bit with a barcode next to it.
When you're ready to project that bit, wave a little handheld scanner over the barcode and the bit is instantly projected/played back.
A good amount of preparation and some expense goes into this stage magic, but many litigators rely on it for maximum flexibility and instant recall.
It's another part of drawing a cognitive though-line for the jury to follow, without the distracting intrusions of fumbling for files.
Next, the recent revolution in randomly accessible video depositions.
