a reasonable amount
any amount decided by the jury
time and a half
whatever they want
It's not C I already tried that. Is it B?
Answered by Writeacher
Expert witnesses are chosen by either the prosecution or the defense law teams, not by juries (which are made up of private citizens). Law firms, county attorney's offices, or ?? hire such witnesses long before a jury hears them testify! Who decides how much such witnesses are paid?

Answered by Writeacher
Probably D, yes.

If the expert asks too much, he/she won't get hired!
