Daubert standard

The Daubert standard is the best choice for determining the admissibility of forensic evidence and expert witnesses in Florida based on the articles provided. The evidence and expert witness testimony that is put forth in Florida litigation should be assessed by the same standards that apply for all rules of evidence in federal courts. Although the Frye standard provides a wide scope as to what can be used as evidence, a stricter set of standards would be more beneficial to the public because it would assure litigants that the science has been proven to be reliable. Frye is based more on the opinion of other experts in the field and what is accepted. If the polygraph test were generally accepted by scientists in the field, the technique would…

Two of the most important standards regarding expert witnesses are the Frye and Daubert standards. Those will be discussed in detail along with the M’Naghten and Durham rules. Following the explanation of the two standards and the two rules, an article by Jennifer McDougal and Ray Bull will be analyzed and related to the discussion of the validity of the forensic interview. The Frye standard originated in during the 1923 appellate court case Frye v. United States. In the original case, Frye…

After reading and referring to the two articles that were provided, in my opinion I think the Daubert Standard is the best for Florida. The best cases are known to thrive from scientific evidence that can be used in court and deemed to be very important in these cases. Most judges and lawyers are not technically trained (education, work experience, or knowledge) of the evidence in a particular field such as Forensic Science. The decision to involve expert witnesses in a case can provide…

The Frye Standard: Frye v. United States, 293 F. 1013 (D.C. Cir. 1923). This is an early standard that is currently only in use in a few states. The Frye standard essentially states that for scientific evidence to be admitted it must be generally accepted by the scientific community. 2. The Daubert Standard: Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993). This standard has replaced the Frye standard in most states. This states that testimony will be admitted provided the…

The general standards for admissibility of evidence are that it must be relevant, contain a probative value, and must be free of prejudicial bias. The evidence is relevant if it has the propensity to make a fact more or less credible than it would be without the evidence, and the facts of consequence in determining the action. The probative value depends on satisfying the basic requirement of relevancy as described above, but also upon the existence of any matter of fact. For example, if…

Out of the three sets of expert testimony admissibility standards: The Frye Standard, Rule 702, and the Daubert Standard, the last standard is the best option for Florida. Three main reasons why the Daubert Standard is the better option is: 1) It increases the reliability of evidence by examining factors such as error rate, alternative explanations, and peer reviews 2) It has more checks and balances than the Frye Standard’s criteria of just general acceptance. 3) It is more likely to filter out…

What is standard care? Standard care is a measure of what the community expects and demands from a person from a person in a given situation (Varone, 2012). There are two types of standard care, ordinary and professional. Ordinary standard care is the degree of care that the reasonably prudent person would not run would have exercised under the circumstances and professional standard care is the care that a person with professional skills and training is required to exercise, namely, the care…

far more profitable than an honest one. Although laws about murder may not be as serious as a laws about embezzlement, the same idea applies here. Without businesses having a standard that they must adhere to, it would be far easier and more profitable to live a life of corruption. Sure it 's easy to believe that many people have too good of a conscious to commit harmful acts, but if these acts still occur while there are tremendous consequences on the table then it would only make sense that…
