The Cameron Hooker case illustrated that when it comes to expert testimony more than just the testimony itself that is important. The credibility of the expert witness and how they are perceived by the judge and jury is equally as important as the information they are sharing.

The case study that will be focused in this essay, will be the case Published by UC Berkley School of law. A Judge received a public reprimand for “friending” an attorney during a trail. This case was an interesting case, at first the thought of a judge becoming friends with an attorney did not spark any form of controversy in my mind at first.

The following is a decision-making model that I have used to arrive at a decision.
The accused is allowed to prove his good character, either- examination in chief or by cross-examination. But so far as concerns proof of the good character of accused by another witness, what must be shown is, not particular good acts by him, but his reputation in the community in general. The accused may adduce evidence of his good character in disposal of his guilt. The witness’s own opinion of his character is irrelevant. The evidence of character is primarily relevant as to credibility i.e. it makes his testimony more worthy of belief.
There were several areas that piqued my interest and made me want to learn more such as ethics, more importantly, the need to be ethical in the collection of evidence, processing of evidence, and the testimony that is given in trial. The need to be ethical should be expected as part of a person’s character, especially when presenting something that could prove guilt or innocence, naïve as that might sound. However, we live in the real world and someone’s ethical behavior can come into question.
