Decide what video clips you want to use in closing pursuant to Hayes v. Delamotte, 231 N.J. 373 (2018).
- The Supreme Court approved the use of excerpts of video trial testimony in closing.
- The excerpts must not be so lengthy to constitute a “second trial.”
- The excerpts must be disclosed to your adversary to assure they do not misstate evidence or are taken out of context.
- Important: Select excerpts carefully and do not overwhelm.
