expert witness, n.All

The Expert witness (n.) from ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠psychiatry addresses not the criminal's unconscious but the judge's conscience: a modulator that lets the code be bent at will while everyone keeps a clear conscience.

An Expert witness (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠differ from two others on where a sane man entering court would look — left, at the ladies; right, at his lawyer; straight ahead, at the judges — and the last one is believed.
