By Rob Giles for Maggie Hemsworth & Penny Howard Law & Social Science Litigation Module

This project was designed to help students understand the nature of evidence simulation as used in real life scenarios. I decided that an animated 3D representation of the various witness descriptions of the described event would be the most appropriate way to illustrate the process and how I would have depicted the reconstruction for a real life situation. The application was built using Macromedia Flash but the animation was produced using 3D construction software. The resulting application can illustrate and tie together various witness descriptions of the events and help a jury visualise the events effectively. I can also assist the module by being called in as an expert witness for the student’s cross-examination.
