TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Worst expert testimony ever JO - Psychological injury and law A1 - Brodsky, Stanley L. A1 - Wilson, Jason K. SP - 272 EP - 274 VL - 9 IS - 3 N2 - Much of the literature on expert testimony addresses ways to improve witness credibility. A smaller body of knowledge examines instances of testimony in which the expert makes stylistic or substantive errors. In the present paper, a case of expert testimony is presented in which an expert witness under the duress of strong cross-examinations lost emotional control and spoke inappropriately. The circumstances of the testimony are discussed and alternative paths towards managing such situations are presented.
