Jack Parsons' trial team planned to develop a state-of-the-art multimedia presentation combining the use of graphics, video testimony, and other technologies to present their case. However, other than the occasional video deposition, the new judge assigned to the Greenway Chemical case had never presided over a case that utilized a computer presentation as advanced as that envisioned by Jack and
his team. He was wary of "losing control" of his courtroom and having a decision overturned on appeal because the jury was exposed to inadmissible evidence. What assurances can the trial team give the judge, and what technological solution can be incorporated into the courtroom technology?
What will be an ideal response?
The IT staff, working with the trial team, can incorporate a "kill switch" in the presentation equipment. This switch, located at the judge's bench, will interrupt the feed from the trial lawyers' laptop to the projector or monitor. If an objection is raised by the defendant, the judge can immediately cut off the presentation and prevent the jury from seeing anything further until the objection is ruled upon.
