The Urgence Of Expert Witness Certification In Criminal Cases

Abstract

This research is a normative legal research. Expert witnesses are needed in the trial process to provide clarity regarding the evidence presented in the trial process. For this reason, every person who will provide testimony as an expert witness in a trial must have a certificate of expertise as an expert witness, which is given by the Supreme Court or an official institution that obtains permission from the Supreme Court. The goal is that the information given at the trial can be justified legally and morally. Mistakes in providing information in court can be detrimental to the parties in litigation.
