Jess E. Dines
The importance of the expert witness has been long established in our judicial system. The plain fact is that in the modem era, the expert is indispensable.

Such witnesses are needed to establish the credibility of evidence-or call into doubt that credibility. Expert Witness Manual provides a guide as to how this is done. With a contribution on Criminology by renowned Forensic Scientist, Dr. Henry Lee, Criminalist for the famed O.J. Simpson Trial.
