Ehrhardt, Florida *1167 Evidence § 702.1 (1992 Edition); Michael H. Graham, Handbook of Florida Evidence § 90.702 (1987 Edition).

...ering from a condition known as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, the Fourth District employed the relevancy *846 approach based on our evidence code for determining the admissibility of such expert testimony. Noting that the "helpfulness" standard of section 90.702 [3] reflects a liberal policy in the admission of expert testimony, the court held: With some qualification, we believe the relevancy approach set out in the evidence code is the appropriate standard for determining the admissibility of expert testimony on child sexual abuse....

...Nevertheless, we will examine the propriety of the objections made to Ostermeyer's testimony. Appellant alleges that the opinion testimony of Officer Ostermeyer is inadmissible because he was never qualified as an expert in the detection of blood as required by section 90.702, Florida Statutes (1983)....

...Pillow's theory that DNA evidence could be completely wiped off of a murder weapon was "preposterous" and "anybody else with walking-around sense would think the same thing . . . in this day and age of watching CSI." With regard to the admissibility of expert testimony, this Court has stated: Section 90.702 requires that before an expert may testify in the form of an opinion, two preliminary factual determinations must be made by the court under section 90.105....

...Caudill also testified that he could not associate the blood spatters he tested with a specific victim. [12] An expert is permitted to express an opinion on matters in which the witness has expertise when the opinion is in response to facts disclosed to the expert at or before the trial. § 90.704, Fla. Stat. (1999). Section 90.702, Florida Statutes (1999), requires that before an expert may testify in the form of an opinion, two preliminary factual determinations must be made by the court under section 90.105, Florida Statutes (1999)....

...the expert opinion testimony of witnesses Mary Anderson and Detective Michael Celona. [4] However, we find no error in the trial court's conclusion that the testimonies of Mary Anderson and Detective Celona did not constitute expert testimony. Under section 90.702, Florida Statutes (2003), expert testimony is defined as "scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge." The record demonstrates that Mary Anderson simply factually explained the contents of phone records that linked Gordon to...

[8] Moreover, not only must the underlying facts or data form a sufficient basis for an expert's opinion, but the underlying facts or data upon which the opinion is based must themselves be relevant. Although the explicit relevancy requirement of Section 90.702, Florida Statutes (1979), i.e., "the [expert] opinion is admissible only if it can be applied to evidence at trial," might arguably be read to mean that the opinion is admissible simply if it relates to a fact in issue, we think the be...

...Additionally, the treating physicians based their determinations upon both broadly accepted scientific literature and differential diagnosis—an established scientific methodology in which the expert eliminates possible causes of a medical condition to arrive at the conclusion as to the actual debilitating factor.

...We hereby reaffirm our holding in Johnson by concluding that the admissibility of expert testimony regarding the reliability of eyewitness testimony is left to the sound discretion of the trial judge. By so holding, we are continuing to align ourselves with a majority of other jurisdictions. Under our evidence code, § 90.702, Fla....

...ll agreed that Johnson had announced a per se rule of exclusion of expert evidence on this issue. We do nothing but add to the confusion by failing to acknowledge that Johnson has been interpreted as a per se rule of exclusion. FLORIDA EVIDENCE CODE Section 90.702, Florida Statutes (1997), provides: If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact in understanding the evidence or in determining a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify about it in the form of an opinion; however, the opinion is admissible only if it can be applied to evidence at trial. Recently, in Angrand v. Key, 657 So.2d 1146 (Fla.1995), we examined section 90.702 and those provisions of the Florida Evidence Code dealing with expert testimony and declined to establish a per se rule excluding expert testimony on the subject of grief and bereavement in tort actions. We reasoned that the trial court required discretion in determining whether to admit expert testimony in accordance with the intent expressed in section 90.702, "which is to admit expert testimony when it will assist the trier of fact in understanding the evidence or in determining a fact in issue." Id. at 1148. However, we cautioned trial courts to exercise their discretion in accordance with section 90.702's "helpfulness" test and attached the caveat that expert testimony should not be admitted "merely to relay matters which are within the common experience of jurors or to summarize what the expert has been told by lay witnesses." Id....

...The Fourth District in McMullen recognized these unique facts and the significant body of law and academic research supporting the admission of expert testimony on eyewitness identification under such circumstances, as well as our more recent decision interpreting section 90.702 in Angrand v....

...In accord with our reasoning in Angrand, the trial judge should consider the particular circumstances of the case being tried and the age, life experience, or other relevant information about the jurors in determining if the expert testimony meets the "helpfulness" standard of section 90.702, Florida Statutes (1997)....

...In this case I would approve of the discretionary use of expert testimony about psychological factors that may affect eyewitness identification for the same reason we approved expert testimony on grief and bereavement in Angrand: to give effect to the intent expressed in section 90.702....

...Further, as in Angrand, while the question of admissibility of such expert testimony should be left to the sound discretion of the trial judge, I would attach the same Angrand caveat that the trial judge must exercise his or her discretion in furtherance of section 90.702's "helpfulness" standard....

[4] FLORIDA'S EVIDENCE CODE Of course, Florida's Evidence Code is patterned substantially upon the Federal Rules of Evidence. Section 90.702 of Florida's code is essentially identical to Federal Rule 702. And, to paraphrase the United States Supreme Court's opinion in Daubert, nothing in section 90.702 or elsewhere in Florida's Evidence Code establishes "general acceptance" as a prerequisite to the admissibility of expert opinion evidence....

Following our repeated affirmations of the Frye rule, in 2013 the Legislature amended section 90.702 to incorporate Daubert in the Florida Rules of Evidence.

In this case, the expert's testimony was merely used as a conduit. This is true for several reasons.

If, on the other hand, the expert were deemed qualified, but the subject of the proposed testimony was not material to a fact in issue, the proposed testimony similarly must be excluded.
