Dan Meyer’s blog, Tick Marks, has directed me to an inter­esting section of The Focal Point’s website, highlighting the work it did in helping the prose­cution of the fraud case of the former head of Waste Management, James Koenig.

The Focal Point is a company that makes “all forms of courtroom presen­ta­tions more persuasive by making these cases easier for judges and jurors to understand.”

In this case, they used visuals to represent the complex accounting treat­ments used in the fraud and enable the ordinary citizens making up the jury under­stand the gravity of Koenig’s manipulations.
