But isn't the job here just to testify toward damages, not toward who actually wins the case. This seems very reasonable, especially since most criminal cases already have recommended or mandatory sentencing. They're not using this witness to decide who is right or wrong, just if there was wrong doing, what would the cost be. It's like saying that murder is 25 years to life. It's not saying you are guilty of murder, but if you are, this is what we have determined the penalty to be.
