opinion evidence
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
The Evidence of a Witness should normally
be first-hand and of events directly related to the case at issue.
The opinion of a witness is likely to be Hearsay, if not
irrelevant. An exception is the evidence of specialists in particular
fields. The opnion of such a specialist may be acceptable if it is
likely to be something that the court could not directly establish
itself.
