“If scientific, technical or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training or education may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise.”
13 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Walker v. Spina · State v. Guthrie“[a]n abuse of discretion . . . can be found when the trial judge’s action was obviously erroneous, arbitrary, or unwarranted. . . . An abuse of discretion standard of review ... is not tantamount to rubber-stamping the trial judge’s decision. It should not prevent an appellate court from conducting a meaningful analysis of the admission [of] scientific testimony to ensure that the trial judge’s decision was in accordance with the Rules of Evidence and the evidence in the case.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Yepez · State v. Fernandez“whether the scientific technique is based upon well-recognized scientific principle and whether it is capable of supporting opinions based upon reasonable probability rather than conjecture.”
