The experience I had, which was pretty cool (although the case overall was very very depressing) in that we the jury were allowed to anonymously submit questions for the judge to ask the witnesses as well."They answer any question put to them." definitely did not apply to all of them. There were many, painful to watch, who at best gave half answers. I'd say the expert witness in the movie "my cousin Vinny" who testifies that the tire marks between the two cars are identical and that it is possible for both cars to have made the tire marks, while knowing that it was literally impossible for the defendants car to make the marks on the road, is very very close to what I saw experts do. In my case it was dumber, though. We had experts talking about how far a driver can see to recognize that a pedestrian is walking across a road and all of his citations were referencing daylight illumination. Thankfully, us jurors were able ask questions like "All of your citations are for daylight illumination. You know this case is about an accident at 3am and the streetlights were broken. What's the distance in that case?" And they would answer that question appropriately, but I didn't consider it impeccable character that they had acted all the while up to that point like the numbers they were giving were for the conditions of the case. And yes, they would always say they were familiar with the conditions of the case before answering any questions, so I generally felt is was lying by omission.
