Case (cite)
People v. Marchan, 2019 WL 4915457 (App. Ct. Ill. 2019)
Note: In this case, defendant did not question the reliability of the methods used or firearms identification testimony as a whole.
“Specifically, this court has found that Safford’s holding that an expert is required to testify to the factual basis for their expert opinion in order for their testimony to be admissible is an incorrect statement of law, and in fact, the factual basis for an expert’s opinions is a matter for cross-examination. . . . Accordingly, we similarly decline to follow Safford.”
