Description
THINK OF RECORDED EVIDENCE as a kind of time machine with which a judge and jury can go back to the scene of a crime being plotted or executed, and be that fly on the wall actually hearing, and sometimes seeing, the crime as it actually unfolds. In addition to hearing the words, you can also hear the tone, the inflection, and the volume as the words are spoken. This is pretty powerful evidence. The public hears it every day in movies and on television (although those recordings are always crystal clear). A defendant can no longer pay off witnesses to testify that he was miles away from a meeting. You hear him as though you were there with him. Juries love this kind of evidence because they become more involved in the case while listening to recordings, rather than just hearing testimony from the witness stand. Are recordings important? O.J. Simpson, Rod Blogojevich, Richard Nixon and thousands of others now know the answer to that question.
