Case (cite)
United States v. Foster, 300 F.Supp.2d 375 (D. Md 2004)
“While the differences in standards and practices among the FBI, Baltimore City, and Baltimore County firearms laboratories may be subjects for cross-examination, they were not sufficient to render the proffered testimony unreliable under Daubert. Similarly, the fact that an examiner may not recall or be able to explain to counsel’s satisfaction each aspect of a specific comparison he or she performed is material for cross-examination but not sufficient to exclude that opinion from the jury’s consideration. ”
“Moreover, the casings themselves are available for a defense expert to examine and offer a contrary opinion if warranted. No such opinion was proffered in this case.”
