Judges decide objections to video expert testimony
In Wisconsin involuntary commitment and protective placement cases, judges decide objections to expert witnesses testifying by video. This applies under chapters 51 and 55, even when respondents have a right to attend court in person. An objection no longer automatically blocks that expert's video testimony. Other video objections still must be upheld when defendants or respondents have a right to be physically present. In other covered proceedings, judges continue to decide video objections using the criteria in Wisconsin law.
