Writing as one who has listened to the last moments in the lives of two professionals, I don't think it is fair to inflict such an experience on jurors or anyone else in a courtroom unless there is a compelling reason to do so. The transcripts are bad enough.

Leave CVR recordings to those who listen to them professionally; playing them in public is insulting to the victims and distressing to their families. Photographs of victims' injuries submitted in evidence are normally shown only to the judges and jurors and not made public. CVR Recordings should be treated in the same way as photographs, not used as political capital to stir up public emotions.
