Input question

I want to learn about the most persuasive way to present information to a jury based on the principles from the book multimedia learning 3rd edition by Richard Mayer. In my upcoming retrial, I want to learn how to present audio soundbites to the jury for maximum retention. Would it be good to show the print words on screen? Would it be good to have yes/no charts for the amount of times something was said or affirmed? If I have to show a line of texts, is it good to summarize it with a headline?
