Daubert standard

The Daubert standard is a rule of evidence regarding the admissibility of expert witnesses' testimony during United States federal legal proceedings. Essentially the Daubert Criteria are: 1.Has the technique been tested in actual field conditions (and not just in a laboratory)? Polygraphy on the other hand has been well tested in laboratories but not so well tested in field conditions] 2.Has the technique been subject to peer review and publication? Thus penile plethysmography does not meet Daubert

justice professor we talked about the Daubert Standard. The Daubert Standard is the assessment of how the courts treat an expert testimony. The standards make sure that the evidence presented to the court used scientific methodology and if accepted science was used to gain the evidence. The Daubert Standard is the new paradigm shift in many states in the United States. It took the place of the Frye test, which was used for many years before.

debated, for several years, which standard should be utilized in the court system: the Frye standard or the Daubert standard. It basically comes down to whether expert testimony should be presented in court based on wide acceptance or scientific proof.

Based on the articles, for expert testimony to go through in the court all a witness needed using the Frye standard was have whatever technique, principle, or

evidence and testimony admissibility: the Frye Standard, the Rule of 702; and, the Daubert Standard, as well as who can serve as an expert witness in a court of law. Daubert refers to the legal precedent set by the United States Supreme Court in 1993 which defined the criteria for admissibility of expert witness testimony in the Federal Courts. The Daubert ruling (Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579) superseded the long-standing Frye standard (set in 1923) for expert witness testimony

In the case of Daubert vs. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals the court of law recommended standards for ascertaining if scientific substantiation was dependable and therefore allowable. Daubert standards pertain to all the U.S. Federal Courts and only in several state courts. Still, the FBI ought to go all out to meet the Daubert criteria for biometric substantiation used in each prosecution. The analytical requests of biometrics are not topics to Daubert standards so biometrics can be castoff in explorations

through common sense and life-long experience in the field concerning the case. On the other hand, an expert witness holds a specialized knowledge in the area/field that concerns the case and whose opinion is called upon. The Daubert Rule vs. The Frye Standard Of late, there has been an ongoing heated debate concerning expert testimony. This is due to the fact that, more are times that the scientific evidence

Polygraph The polygraph test is one of the most controversial criminal investigative techniques of all-time. From the initial years of the invention to today, there is not a consensus about the investigative tool. That is why there are many people for and against the administration of polygraph tests. Therefore, in order to develop a clear picture of the polygraph test the history of the test must be established. Although, there are many sources that have well documented concerns about the invention
