Committee Notes

Note to 1990 Amendment:

Rule 24 Expert Testimony is taken from Rules 702 to 705 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The language in paragraph (c) is that of Federal Rule of Evidence 704 prior to its amendment in 1984. The Advisory committee Notes to the Federal Rules of Evidence provide commentary and useful guidance on the use of expert testimony under this Rule.

Note to 1995 Amendment:

This amendment deleted Rule 24, SCRCrimP. Expert testimony is now governed by Rules 702-705 of the South Carolina Rules of Evidence.
