A scene that flashes in front of you?

How do you write a scene that flashes in front of you?
like in a courtroom scene, when witness after witness appears, gives evidence then goes. Is it a P.O.V. ?

not a POV

no, it's a FLASHBACK

or

you can have the 2 scenes: courtroom & crime scene INTERCUT:

Terry -

It sounds like you might be thinking of a montage.

I would write something like...

WITNESS #24. (NAME AND DISCRIPTION)

action-dialogue

WITNESS #38 (NAME AND DISCRIPION)

ect.ect.ect.

P.S.
Look up the script to "Runaway Jury" or "The Juror" it might give you some more insight.
