three forensic experts testified that they thought the victim had been sexually abused, and two testified that they believed the defendant did it
three expert witnesses gave their opinion that the child had been sexually abused and that the defendant had done it
“A clear delegation of the decision of the jury to the expert witnesses surely would deprive a defendant of his constitutional rights to a jury trial.”
“A proper foundation is essential, however, and the simple fact that the statement was made to a doctor or other medical personnel during treatment does not justify admission.”
