Latest Updates in the “Whitmer Kidnapping Plot” Sham Case
September 15, 2021 – The latest filing in the so-called “Whitmer Kidnapping Plot” case, aka USA vs. Fox, et al is a filing regarding Expert Testimony. According to the Legal Dictionary, an exert witness is “a person who is a specialist in a subject, often technical, who may present his/her expert opinion without having been a witness to any occurrence relating to the lawsuit or criminal case. It is an exception to the rule against giving an opinion in trial, provided that the expert is qualified by evidence of his/her expertise, training and special knowledge. If the expertise is challenged, the attorney for the party calling the “expert” must make a showing of the necessary background through questions in court, and the trial judge has discretion to qualify the witness or rule he/she is not an expert, or is an expert on limited subjects. Experts are usually paid handsomely for their services and may be asked by the opposition the amount they are receiving for their work on the case. In most jurisdictions, both sides must exchange the names and addresses of proposed experts to allow pre-trial depositions.”
Here is the latest filing in the case, Notice Regarding Expert Testimony1.
The 26 page Notice was filed on behalf of the government in the case, notifying the defense of the expert witnesses they seek to call to testify in the case.
