OPINION
DOWNIE, Judge.
¶ 1 Several physicians treated an infant who was admitted to the hospital with mortal injuries. When the State sought to call the physicians as witnesses at the criminal trial of the man accused of murdering the child, the doctors objected that they would be testifying as expert witnesses and demanded to be paid as experts.
