I still do not mind the fact that people have a right to be able to have said expert witnesses in court and see these people and cross examine them.
There are a lot of these people whose main line of business is being an expert witness.
Not disagreeing, my wife has testified in a few of these that actually have gone to trial. Usually a big mistake on the lawyers part. I just wanted to correct the assumption that these were state employees or police technicians. The same machines that are used to analyze blood for hospital patients is used for the DUI’s. Only the chain of custody is more stringent. Mostly it’s a giant PITA for everyone.
