Does the Government have any case law that supports its argument that "the same analysis applies whether the witness is an expert or a lay witness"?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Figueroa-Lopez, 125 F.3d 1241 (9th Cir. 1997):
The Government contends that "the same analysis applies whether the witness is testifying as an expert or as a lay witness." In support of its argument, the Government relies primarily on two cases, United States v. Fleishman, 684 F.2d 1329, 1335-36 (9th Cir.1982), and United States v. VonWillie, 59 F.3d 922, 929 (9th Cir.1995). The Government's reliance is misplaced.
