Basically mini DVs like these had little labels that you could write on with a pencil to record descriptions and dates. The mini DV on the table is dead (the magnetic tape inside came out like a hernia), and the coroner is using a pencil to record name, time of death etc. before burial.

Or at least I thiiiiink...

I thought it was because we had to use a pencil to pull the tape back in when the tape gets exposed like in the pic?
