Forensic Entomology and The Law - Expert Witness

Expert Witness

When a forensic entomologist is called to the stand, his/her expertise is only requested so that he/she may refute or support the Case Study Final Report. It is imperative that objectivity predominates and is not lost as the trial goes on. Although it may be used for referencing and corroboration of evidence, the Case Study Final Report is seldom admitted into court proceedings.

Famous quotes containing the words expert and/or witness:

    “An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field.”
    —Niels Bohr (1885–1962)

    “Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
