Q&A: Would religious affiliation nullify testimony by an expert witness?

Posted on by

Question by Kell: Would religious affiliation nullify testimony by an expert witness?
Scenario: Arguments are being made at the Roe v. Wade trial. Wade brings in an embryologist as an expert witness. The opposing counsel objects because the respected embryologist is a pro-life Catholic who often writes articles refuting abortion.

Does the judge refuse to allow the embryologist to testify?

In other words – does an “expert witness” have to be irreligious?

Any clarification on this will be greatly appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by Enzo
He does not have to be irreligious as long as his beliefs did not get in the way of an accurate testimony. I doubt religious beliefs will get in the way
