FAQ
The general rule is that expert testimony is admissible only if it will be of assistance to the jury in its deliberations and relates to an area not within the competency of ordinary citizens. State v. Ammons, 208 Neb. 812, 305 N.W.
A lawyer may call any (relevant) person as a witness, including someone on the opposite side. That includes the plaintiff's lawyer/prosecutor calling the defendant. This is seldom done because by doing so, you have made this witness "your" witness, thereby meaningfully reducing your options.
A majority of courts hold that the prosecution may not cross-examine a defendant's character witness by asking whether his or her opinion of the defendant would change if the defendant were guilty of the crime. The prosecution also may not ask whether the witness is aware that the defendant is guilty.
Section 702 - Personal knowledge required (a) Subject to Section 801, the testimony of a witness concerning a particular matter is inadmissible unless he has personal knowledge of the matter. Against the objection of a party, such personal knowledge must be shown before the witness may testify concerning the matter.
Simply put, a defendant can be a witness in their own criminal case. If you have been charged with a crime, you have the right to testify on your own behalf, and to raise your own defense. However, most criminal defendants don't testify in their criminal trials.
