Expert witnesses can be the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. In Mississippi criminal cases, experts often help juries understand complex evidence that could make or break your defense.
What Is an Expert Witness?
An expert witness is someone with specialized knowledge who can provide opinions to help a jury understand technical evidence.
Examples include:
Forensic scientists explaining DNA results.
Medical experts testifying about injuries.
Technology specialists analyzing phone data.
Why Experts Matter
A skilled defense lawyer can use expert testimony to:
Challenge the prosecution’s evidence.
Present alternative theories of what happened.
Explain why certain evidence isn’t as conclusive as the state claims.
But not all experts are created equal. Selecting the right one and preparing them to testify effectively is crucial.
