CCBA February 2026 MCLE Webinar

Cross Examination of Expert Witnesses

Presented by ANDREA LYON

Expert witnesses are often the prosecution’s most powerful tools. Their opinions can decide suppression motions, influence charging decisions, and ultimately shape verdicts.

This one-hour MCLE is focused squarely on how expert testimony is built, how it fails under pressure, and how effective cross-examination exposes those failures in real courtrooms.

Drawing from decades of high-stakes trial experience, Ms. Lyon will address:

• How prosecutors rely on experts to “prove” intent, causation, and credibility
• Where expert opinions most commonly break down under rigorous cross-examination
• How precise, disciplined questioning can neutralize expert testimony
• The difference between merely challenging credentials and actually weakening the State’s case
