Yeah, I think this is super fascinating because trials in the United States have been consistent for, at this point, centuries. But one area where things have changed pretty rapidly over the last 20 years is how technology has made its way into the courtroom. I used to be a paralegal before I was a journalist, and I dealt with this firsthand.

I was doing much more boring trials about white-collar criminals, But that same technology applied. I think I even worked on a trial that is in the same courtroom where the Combs case is currently happening. It's a magnificent, it's this large room. You've been there plenty of times. Tall ceilings. It's got this sweeping view of Midtown kind of rising up from Chinatown.

And it's speckled with technology. There are kind of computer screens in front of every chair for the defense table and the prosecution table. The witness box has a screen. The jury each has a screen in front of them. The gallery also has at least one screen to see what's being presented to the jury.

Basically, as they're kind of hearing this evidence being described by the witnesses, the jury gets to see this immediately in front of them. They get to see it with their own eyes. And when it comes actually to the point of deliberations, they get to see this all over again.

The jury will be sent into the deliberations room with a binder full of evidence or a laptop full of every single exhibit that's been admitted over the course of the trial.

Evidence is at the ready for them and a good prosecutor can really enhance their direct examination using this evidence at times to kind of give their witness more credibility, to preempt a line of attack that the defense may make to cast doubt on that testimony.

It's one area, particularly with this case, where there is so much evidence, where there are tons of photos and text messages and emails, where the prosecution kind of has a leg up here because they can build off this testimony with all of this material.
