Answer:Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it was a normal witness they shouldn't be paid because they are only telling what they saw. But if it is a expert witness who is going out of their way to say information. They should be paid, because they are not forced by law to talk.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

An expert witness should NOT be paid in court. If you were a victim in a crime, you would want anyone who saw anything to speak up about what they witnessed, so they can identify the suspect. You shouldn't be rewarded for doing the right thing.
