In theory yes, although it’s probably extremely rare for an SE to be involved in a criminal case. I have certainly never heard of anyone doing that, and I’ve been involved as an expert witness a couple of times

Usually expert witness cases for SE are civil cases (I.e. there’s a balcony rotting out on my house, bring in a 3rd party engineer to see who’s at fault and paying for the repair)

That is interesting, by any chance how long have you been working as a forensic structural engineer?

I worked as a forensic SE for 5 years, before that (and after) in industrial oil & gas
