Question

Do you think that expert witnesses should be paid in court? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An expert witness should NOT be paid in court. If you were a victim in a crime, you would want anyone who saw anything to speak up about what they witnessed, so they can identify the suspect. You shouldn't be rewarded for doing the right thing.

Answer 2

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

If it was a normal witness they shouldn't be paid because they are only telling what they saw. But if it is a expert witness who is going out of their way to say information. They should be paid, because they are not forced by law to talk.
