Does the DT have any questions that this witness has actually begin declared by the court as an expert qualified to answer?
I hope the jury sees through this; I think they will. Ashton, imo, is not afraid of anything this witness has to say; he could undo it on cross. He simply isn't going to let irrelevant testimony on the record. I don't think the DT knows enough about these experts' fields to understand if they are qualifed or not; when they are schooled about it, they just try to sneak it in anyway. They have so little of substance to contradict the state's case in the area of forensics, imo...
