But as a strategic choice, I do agree that the prosecution may be going too far. Here's why. It is my belief that the prosecution's probable purpose is to assure the jury that CM can fit into the trunk. However, I think they run the risk that the jury has already assumed that to be the case (she was in there, per the DNA, so it must be big enough, right?) and now might second guess their own assumption (iow, the state is continuing to present arguments for a sale already made, and in so doing may talk the customer out of buying). Remember the OJ Simpson case, where they put the gloves on the hands? That was pushing for a truth (whether the gloves fit today, or not) that sank the case. I'm not sure there's as much potential downside here with the Camaro viewing, but they are certainly inserting a wild card into the trial, and I am not sure I see enough upside to make it worth the risk.
Of course, they may have some grand plan that I don't see, with this showing. That's possible too.
