After seeing some of Lear's other "work", I don't think I'd use him as any sort of "reference"!
Ad hominem fallacy (and straw man). Someone could be a kook in one thing and an expert in another.
Do you know what a jury must do? Consider only the evidence testimony and expertise at hand, not the prejudices you have of the person from other fields.
If a bartender saw a murder, a bartender saw it; if you think bartenders are ignorant about mechanics, you must discount that.
Quoting: mclarek 986233No, you would not dismiss the testamony of the bartender simply because of his vocation. But if he had published writings claiming that there were "soul collectors" on the moon and submarine tunnels under Nevada and all the other patently absurd claims Lear has made, the jury would throw his testamony out in a second. The jury does not have to take into consideration the claims of a loon.
