Decades ago, I served on a jury where we had an expert witness for defence and an expert witness for prosecution. We, the jury, made a decision to ignore both expert witnesses as they each had a different opinion, please note the word "opinion". I do not know with what regard, under US jurisdictions, the evidence provided by "expert" witnesses is treated, but at the time, we were told by the presiding judge to treat it as opinion by an "expert" and not as direct evidence.
