Cynette Wilson sued Corestaff Services L.P.--a temporary employment agency--after someone supposedly made a "retaliatory statement" about her.
While assigned to an investment bank, Wilson allegedly received a nude photo from a co-worker and reported the incident.
A witness, Ronald Armstrong, claimed that he was told not to give Wilson work "because she complained of sexual harassment." And, in order to enhance his credibility, Wilson wanted an expert to testify that a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging test showed "to a very high probability" that Armstrong's testimony was truthful.
Since credibility determinations are left to the trier of fact, the Kings County Supreme Court granted the defendants' request to exclude that particular expert testimony.
Wasn't that a no brainer?
