Syllabus

HEARSAY – EXPERT TESTIMONY – LEADING QUESTIONS: The trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing an expert witness to reference unnamed studies where: (1) the expert did not provide any precise statement from the studies (2) the expert merely referenced the studies to explain the basis for his opinion and (3) the expert clarified that his opinion was based upon his own education, training, and experience. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing defense counsel to ask leading questions of the defense expert on direct examination because the evidence had already been well-established and the questions were not prejudicial.
