Frye v. United States

Frye v. United States is a 1923 legal case that established the "Frye Standard" for determining the admissibility of scientific evidence in court. The case involved a man accused of murder who tried to use a lie detector test as evidence. The court ruled that scientific evidence must be generally accepted by experts in the relevant field to be admissible. This ruling set a precedent, requiring that any scientific testimony presented in court is reliable and widely recognized by the scientific community, ensuring that only credible and relevant methods are used in legal proceedings.
