Judicial Acceptance of Scientific Evidence

Record #:
17668
Author(s):
Abstract:
The North Carolina Supreme Court throughout its history has had to decide which forms of scientific evidence are credible in court. In the 1960s, the court decided submission of evidence from skid marks to determine the speed of a vehicle at the scene of an automobile accident was admissible. The court considered cases from other states before making this decision.
