This is a photograph of William Giblin, murdered at home by his brother Greg. Then again, maybe it's just a photograph of an actor who appears to have been murdered. On the web, who can tell the real from the simulated?

Actually, this photograph comes from the files of a web-accessible ongoing investigation of a multiple murder in Yoknapatawpha county.

This is a photograph of Ron Goldman, taken outside of Nicole Simspon's condominium. Should these pictures of crime scenes be considered to be evidence in a court of law? And while we're on the subject of the Simspon trial, should visual depictions such as this be considered to be evidence admissible in court?
