Reading the passage
What job did the medical expert have in the discussion of these pictures? Go back to the second paragraph: a custom illustration cannot be admitted unless an expert testifies to its accuracy. We're looking for that stated role.
Working the answers
- A
Testifying that an illustration is accurate is not the same as deciding whether it should be admitted. The author identifies a condition for admissibility, not an expert's authority to make the decision.
- B
We aren't told that experts moderate the pictures' emotional effect on judges or jurors.
- C
This is not the role specified for the expert. The final paragraph instead explains how illustrations help the audience understand technical testimony.
- D
Advising attorneys about useful illustrations isn't the courtroom role described here.
- ECorrect
The second paragraph expressly requires an expert “to testify to their accuracy.” That is why a lawyer can't simply use a deceptive professional picture to replace an expert who will support the claim.
