There has been a bit of debating on the issue of allowing Victims in life, before they were killed, photo's to juries.
In Tennessee the bill just passed:
Prosecutors and victims' rights advocates hailed the passage of the legislation as a return to portraying the dead as more than just a corpse. It comes during National Crimes Victims' Rights Week.
Weirich said the in-life photographs allow the victims to be seen as more than a piece of evidence.

The bill passed 86-1 in the Tennessee House of Representatives and 28-1 in the Tennessee State Senate.

The process of ensuring victim rights will continue, said Guy Jones, deputy director of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference, which coordinated a two-year effort to get the legislature to set the newly passed policy. The statute that was passed today is based on a statute in Oklahoma that has been reviewed and upheld in the courts. We look forward to the good it will do here in Tennessee.
