Thanks. In My Cousin Vinny, the prosecution presents a last minute expert witness who will base his testimony on tests he conducted on prosecution evidence. Vinny requests a continuence to review that witness's test findings and his bona fides. The judge denies the continuence. Might that be reversible error?
Yes, it would. But the movie wouldn't have been as funny. Also, it's unlikely that Marissa Tomei would have been qualified as an expert, but her testimony was a classic.
