No, this is exactly why it shouldn’t be allowed. This isn’t akin to playing a video of home movies because this is a fake video of the victim. This is complete fiction and people thinking it’s the same thing is what makes it wrong.

Your emotions don’t always line up with “what you know” this is why evidence rules exist in court. Humans don’t work that way. This is why there can be mistrials if specific kinds of evidence is revealed to the jury that shouldn’t have been shown.

Digital reenactments shouldn’t be allowed, even with disclaimers to the court. It is fiction and has no place here.

This isn’t a message from the victim. This is a message from his sister using his image as a way to increase the impact of her statement in court.

This is a bad thing, this is manipulating the court with a false and confusing message.
