In a negligent security case, wouldn most security expert witnesses come to the same conclusions based on the identical facts?
A. You would think so, but all so-called “security experts” are not necessarily qualified, ethical, honest or professional. In some cases, these “experts” simply say what they think their client wants them to say. In one deposition such an “expert” claimed a manufacturing facility was negligent because it was not surrounded by a moat. (He apparently didn’t see the need for stocking it with alligators, however.) In another, the “expert” claimed the area had exceptionally high statistics in regard to murder–after ten homicide-free years. Many of these “experts” have been known to judge exterior illumination substandard–after viewing the premises in daylight. One “expert” claimed an apartment complex was vulnerable because of the high percentage of single female tenants–he arrived at this evaluation by strolling on the property one evening and seeing a few ladies about. (The total female tenant population there [married and single] was actually about 52%.) Selectively using the volume
