OPINION
PATRICK A. PIRTLE, Justice.
This case involves the admissibility of expert witness testimony in the field of psychology pertaining to the reliability of eyewitness identification of a suspect from a photographic lineup. Following a Dau-bert-Kelly hearing, 1 the trial court concluded that the proffered expert witness testimony did not meet the threshold requirements for admissibility and excluded the testimony. Finding that, under the circumstances of this case, the trial court erred by excluding such testimony, we reverse and remand this case for a new trial.
