1985Two of the significant reasons for this rule were distilled by the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Webster v. Offshore Food Service, Inc., 434 F.2d 1191 (1970).

1985First, the trier of fact is entitled to weigh credibility of the witness and to value his testimony in light of his demeanor on the stand, (cites omitted.) Second, and perhaps more important, is the general recognition that the trier of fact is not bound by expert testimony and may substitute its own common-sense judgment for that of the experts, (cites omitted.)
