Photographs, medical records damage plaintiff's allegations A defense attorney clearly laid out evidence for the jury and earned a verdict in her favor. Attorney Jennifer R. Rose, whose client was responsible for a minor auto accident, presented enlarged photos and medical records that overshadowed testimony by the plaintiff's family in Laurie D. Sirna v. Vickie E. Shelton. "We blew up the pictures really big, poster size, for the jury to see," Rose said. "We showed them during opening and closing. The pictures were pretty good." |
