You have a lot more trust in the ethics of expert witnesses than I do.
- jacquesm 4y agoWell, expert witnesses that give false testimony are a lot more rare than expert witnesses that are going to go on the record for things that they know to be false. Expert witnesses and liability are a very interesting area of the legal system. There are all kinds of variations on this theme ranging from blanket immunity to various forms of liability. Knowingly giving false testimony would likely lead to problems, especially if say a panel of experts would in turn testify that said expert should have known and could have known that what they testified was wrong. I'm not aware of a case that went that far, but I would love to read more about such conflicts between expert witnesses on two sides of a lawsuit, usually the experts agree in broad terms on their testimony, and may differ in the details. Maybe some who have served in such a capacity can chime in here?
