Editor’s note: The author served as defense counsel in Detrick v. Burrus.
It is well settled that “the purpose of … civil trials is to discover the truth” of the claims and defenses presented by the parties, as the court held in Bailey v. Tucker, 621 A.2d 108, 113 (Pa. 1993). It is equally well settled that, in the search for the truth at trial, it is for the jury to determine the credibility of the witnesses, including expert witnesses, along with the weight to be given to the testimony of any witness presented, as in Ludmer v. Nernberg, 640 A.2d 939, 942 (Pa. Super. 1994).
