Episode 10: Experts : What You Don't Know You Don't Know

  • Summary

  • Anyone can call themselves an expert. This week on RLW, you'll discover how even in a court of law, that term can be used loosely. Yes, even you could be considered an expert in court. Join us as we dive into Expert Testimony and hear the devastating real life account of Maria Shepherd, a woman wrongfully convicted of killing her step daughter and the "expert doctor" who could take the stand to determine her fate. Doctor Charles Smith put many innocent people behind bars because of his "opinion"...so how was he considered an expert?

    Kelly Lauzon is a PhD student in the department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University where she teaches a fourth-year Honours seminar on wrongful convictions and another on criminal jury trials.

    Kelly Fanson is a business owner, writer, CCA winning director, actor/voice performer, and an Instructor of Acting for Film and Television at The Toronto Film School.
