Had an 8:30 am flight scheduled, found out about outage at 5:00 am, texted SM saying I'd be in later tonight and working remote all day. Then I turned my alarms off and fell asleep. Rolled out of bed at 9, called delta to re-book for last flight of the day and am about to make a nice omelet for breakfast.

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
