2009We held that the flaws and weaknesses in the psychologist's report and testimony were apparent to the district court and that the "frailty" of a doctor's opinion "goes to the weight to be accorded the opinion, and not its admissibility." Id. at 728 . [¶ 12] As in Weber , the ethical violation Dr. Coombs may have committed did not render his report and testimony inadmissible.
