Dissenting opinion notes that “To accommodate a minor inconvenience in the presentation of evidence by the [**25] government, the majority allows a major incursion into a criminal defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to confrontation. 15Link to the text of the note This unfortunate outcome is the result of allowing so-called “expert” testimony contrary to the requirements of Federal Rule of Evidence 702. The majority goes further astray by failing to call upon the government to make an adequate showing of reasonable reliance under Federal Rule of Evidence 703. This regrettable development is especially egregious where, as [*93] here, the “experts in the particular field” are federal law enforcement officers testifying regarding a self-serving subject matter. Finally, the majority simply fails to take into account the fact that the use of hearsay evidence in a criminal case must pass constitutional muster.”<\/p>\n
