MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. McBride, 786 F.2d 45 (2nd Cir. 1986):
A district judge has broad discretion with respect to the admission of expert testimony, Hamling v. United States, 418 U.S. 87, 108, 94 S.Ct. 2887, 2902, 41 L.Ed.2d 590 (1974). However, "discretion does not mean immunity from accountability," United States v. Dwyer, 539 F.2d 924, 928 (2d Cir.1976).
