Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Iowa, 1999.

This dissertation examines the courts' protocols for authenticating and interpreting the image. While those protocols are related to motion picture practices outside of the legal institution, they are not identical to them. Rather than assimilating pre-existing elements of visual culture, the courts reframe the moving image for their own purposes. This dissertation describes the development of protocols for the admission of evidentiary films and the instrumentalization of such films. The relationship between moving image and truth posited by the courts is also examined. The assimilation of videotape into the justice system is described. The use of video in the trial of the police officers who beat Rodney King is analyzed in terms of a problematic of motion picture testimony.

520 $a The use of motion picture and photographic evidence in the courts brings into focus a philosophical crisis whose effects can be felt throughout culture in the electronic age. Jurists have traditionally held that the most reliable form of evidence is the sworn testimony of a witness present in court. The introduction of photographs, films, and videotapes into the courtroom has displaced oral testimony from the summit of the evidentiary hierarchy because “seeing is believing.” This conflict between heliocentric and phonocentric models of truth has never been fully resolved in the courts. The result is that in our courts the truth of speech and the truth of vision produce a continuous mutual deconstruction.
