An enlarged photo which shows a seatbelt which has broken in an accident at four times its actual size but otherwise accurate is likely to be inadmissible
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
False—this is not unfairly prejudicial, just prejudicial, because the enlargement is for the benefit of the jury and not distorting any aspect of it. If you want to ask a follow-up, have the students consider why you might want an enlargement of the break (to argue that it wasn't the stress of the accident, if the break appears to be from a sharp instrument, or that it was, because of the stretch-and-pop appearance of the ends.)
