Does a court erred in excluding an expert's testimony regarding a plaintiff's state of mind?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Sebresos, 972 F.2d 1347 (9th Cir. 1992):
Sebresos argues that the court erred in excluding her expert's testimony regarding her state of mind. We review exclusion of expert testimony under an abuse of discretion standard. United States v. Aguon, 851 F.2d 1158, 1171 (9th Cir.1988). As described above, defendant's proffer mixed two issues. In addition to excluding testimony on a duress defense, the court also excluded defendant's expert's testimony on her state of mind. 4
