Abstract
The author suggests that the existing approaches to admissibility of scientific evidence have lost sight of the goal of the Rules of Evidence concerned with expert evidence.and the goals of the Rules generally. The result has been failure to provide the reliable and comprehensible evidence needed by a lay trier for accurate decisionmaking. The author suggests a coherent interpretation of the relevant Rules and a strategy of "enhancement" of the offer which does not rely primarily on the exclusionary sanction, is consistent with the goals of the Rules generally and will better meet the requirements of a lay trier.
