Canadian Expert Witness Inquiry at Final Arguments

A Canadian judge is currently hearing final arguments at the inquiry of a medical doctor and expert witness who was once considered to be the leading mind in the field of pediatric pathology. Dr. Charles Smith previously testified at the inquiry that he had no formal training in the field and that this may have contributed to mistakes in numerous cases. Further admissions have indicated that he believed that his role as an expert witness was to support the prosecution's case. It is feared that numerous parents and caregivers may have been wrongly convicted in molesting or killing their children.
