A little interesting coverage of an interesting SCOTUS argument on drug mule case experts

Though Supreme Court action regarding Texas immigration enforcement was the story grabbing most of the headlines yesterday, Tuesday also brought an interesting SCOTUS oral argument in Diaz v. US.  Diaz concerns whether government expert testimony about what drug mules may know is problematic under the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the (little) press about the argument highlights its intrigue:

From NBC News, “Supreme Court wrestles with dispute over expert testimony in drug ‘mule’ case: Delilah Guadalupe Diaz says testimony that she likely knew of the presence of drugs in her vehicle when she was stopped at the border unlawfully undermined her defense.”
