What "qualifications" are needed to have witnessed a crime?

------------------------------------

The ME didn't witness any crime with respect to her testimony. All
she did was evaluate Zimmerman's head wounds from photographs and
review the report of the examination by the Physician Assistant.
It
was based on the photos and the PA report that she determined that
Zimmerman's injuries were "very minor". Somehow she was also able
to
determine that only one punch in the face and one "smashing" of his
head on the concrete took place.

When challenged on this determination on cross examination by
defense
she became somewhat frustrated and hostile because she was forced to
admit that more than one punch and more than one head banging on the
concrete walkway *could* have taken place.

She was giving testimony AS an "expert WITNESS".

Read what you posted above. You made the statement, "What
"qualifications" are needed to have witnessed a crime?"

She didn't "witness" any crime. She testified as a witness for the
prosecution on her evaluation of Zimmerman's injuries based on photos
and a PA's examination. What became contested was her statement that
the injuries were a result of only two actions .... a punch in the
nose and a single "smash" of the head on the concrete walkway.
