Does the fact that the mannequin was used during trial matter? Not sure the judge would've allowed this demonstration at all if she was not going to let the jury allow it during deliberations.
It can be used as demonstrative evidence only. The jury will be instructed that it is there to help them interpret other evidence but it is not itself evidence. Hope that helps. It is the same for graphics that attorneys show during closing arguments. They aren't usually admitted into evidence.
