MY EXPERT IS DAUBERT

The Florida Legislature is now asserting themselves into the evidence code once again with HB 645 (SB 1448). They are changing the expert standards from Frye to Daubert. There are supposed procedural safeguards, including interlocutory appeals, but I am concerened they are going to let every crackpot, under the guise that it will help the jury, state opinions which have no true scientific basis. The revised meeting packet for March 19th lays out the arguments for the bill.
