  Yep

  I have to agree on this one. It's a nice idea in theory.... but could you really trust anybody to be impartial in the creation? Of course it might lead to a generation of hybrid lawyers/3D graphic designers (or just lawyers hiring them), as the prosecution and defense offer competing computer generated scenarios.
  
  Hmmm, heck, as long as each side got the same access to the same tools to generate their view, maybe it would be a good thing!

  I have to wonder...

  if this is just the modern day version of diagrams and charts used in the courtroom.

  Think about it. You could do the same basic thing with a big diagram on a piece of illustration board. Exaggerate certain elements of the drawing in an attempt to sway the case your way. This really isn't much different, it just uses computers to do it instead of paper.

    Yeah, but I think showing a computer animation seems more "real" than just showing a diagram. For some reason, if you can see the recreation, it just seems more plausible than someone describing the situation with a diagram.
