1311

Here's the objection I would make: "I object to the witness assessing the strength of the defense case. It is a legal opinion outside the scope of her expertise"

Although the objection should be sustained, assume it is overruled and the testimony continues:

A: No, the Defense is wrong.

Q: Are you sure?
A: I'm positive.

Q: How could you be so sure?
A: Because there is no way that these tire marks were made by a 1964 Buick Skylark. These marks were made by a 1963 Pontiac Tempest.
