Title: Re: Explain the difference between an expert and lay witness and how their testimony Post by: cloveb on Jul 3, 2018 testimony consists of statements by competent witnesses, whereas real evidence includes physical items that affect the case. a lay witness is an "average person," whereas an expert witness speaks with the authority of one who has professional training, advanced knowledge, or substantial experience in a specialized area. direct evidence is evidence presented by witnesses; circumstantial evidence can create an inference that a fact exists, but it does not directly establish the fact
