Is he saying that expert testimony should not be allowed because the jury might believe it? A most unusual argument.
That's the prosecutor making that statement...unbelievable.
Unlike at an FEB, the jury in a general Court-Martial is made up of everyday joes who may know nothing about aviation. I think they'd be pretty spring loaded to look at things in a very black-and-white fashion and not understand that non-specific thing that aviators have to use called 'judgment'.
