Expert Perjury Watch (San Diego Edition)

According to a story from KFMB (San Diego's CBS affiliate), an audit has revealed that Ray Cole, a frequent prosecution expert in area DUI cases, holds an undergraduate degree in political science. This would be unremarkable, except that Cole has reportedly testified for years that his degree was in pre-med.

I read the article. The problem may be that no university has a 'pre-med' major. You have to declare a major.

There were a number of biology and chemistry majors I met when going through college who described themselves as 'pre-med'. However there also were a number of biology and chemistry majors who were studying for those fields.

With apologies to anyone actually studying in the field, I never met a zoology major who *wasn't* 'pre-med'.
