United States Third Circuit


US v. RUTLAND, 03-3915

Defendant's appeal was denied because a qualified expert witness can testify to an ultimate issue in a case such as defendant's handwriting, and this testimony should not be excluded under FRE 403. An expert's credentials may properly be considered by jurors when weighing his testimony.
