MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Winters, 912 F.2d 471 (9th Cir. 1990):
In United States v. Christophe, 833 F.2d 1296, 1300 (9th Cir.1987), we said, "A trial court has broad discretion to admit or exclude expert testimony and is reversed only for manifest error." Within those generous limits we find no abuse of discretion in the district court's refusals involved in these appeals.
