Kodachrome, the oldest camera film ever made became history last Thursday when it was developed for the final time. On 22 June 2009, Kodak announced the end of Kodachrome production, citing declining demand. Many Kodak and independent laboratories once processed Kodachrome, but only one Kodak certified facility remained in the world after the announcement: Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas, USA.
On 14 July 2010 it was announced that the last produced roll of Kodachrome was developed for photographer Steve McCurry on assignment for National Geographic.

It's kind of bittersweet that most of this generation has never even seen a roll of film. Or felt the anticipation of waiting for photos to come back from the lab. Memories!
Kodachrome gave such beautiful colours. I have some Kodachrome slides from my childhood in the sixties & they are just beautiful. You can't get the same thing digitally imho
So how will courts use photo images as evidence since they will not accept digital images?
