O.C.G.A. § 24-7-703

Bases of expert opinion testimony

Code 1981, § 24-7-703, enacted by Ga

The facts or data in the particular proceeding upon which an expert

bases an opinion or inference may be those perceived by or made known to the expert at or before the hearing. If of a type reasonably relied upon by experts in the particular field in forming opinions or inferences upon the subject, such facts or data need not be admissible in evidence in order for the opinion or inference to be admitted. Such facts or data that are otherwise inadmissible shall not be disclosed to the jury by the proponent of the opinion or inference unless the court determines that their probative value in assisting the jury to evaluate the expert’s

opinion substantially outweighs their prejudicial effect.
