<p>As visualization of social life is proceeding, it is inevitable that it has entered the courtroom. When evidence migrates to the screen it lives there as other images do, allowing for judgment to be based on visual experiences and attitudes. The interactive story presented in the courtroom has a powerful impact on imaginations of judges – it has a certain narrative strength. Judges are looking for optimization of the adjudicating function by using more technology and more visual evidence. In their opinion it makes their fact-finding more precise. Is it really so? In this text, the use of semiotics in the area of understanding and evaluating legal evidence in criminal trial will be discussed, with a special focus on effects that visualization of pieces of evidence into a greater coherent entity displayed on a courtroom’s screen, have on judges. The analysis will be based on the present practice before the International Criminal Court, that an Interactive Digital Platform, a new tool allowing for a “visual complex evidentiary presentation” of particular pieces of evidence, and their collective presentation as one entity, enabling to reconstruct the crime scene. By the design of creators, visual platforms perform the task of compiling the defragmented pieces of data into a bigger story, leading to a double-layer interpretation of evidence. Research on the evidentiary visualizations that have already been used in criminal trials should allow for a better understanding of the practice, theory, and interpretation of law in the current screen-dominated, pervasively visual, digital era.</p>
