Question:

1. Rule 703 is discussed in the Williams case. Rule 703 states: “An expert may base an opinion on facts or data in the case that the expert has been made aware of or personally observed. If experts in the particular field would reasonably rely on those kinds of facts or data in forming an opinion on the subject, they need not be admissible for the opinion to be admitted. But if the facts or data would otherwise be inadmissible, the proponent of the opinion may disclose them to the jury only if their probative value in helping the jury evaluate the opinion substantially outweighs their prejudicial effect.” Explain why the Williams Court held that the opinion of the forensic specialist was admissible.

2. Prepare a brief for the Williams case. Include the facts, issues, rules, analysis, and conclusion of the Court.
