Dallas TX, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Federal Criminal defense lawyer John Helms Attorney sheds light on the recent Supreme Court decision in Diaz v. United States and its potential impact on federal drug cases in Texas.
On June 20, 2024, the United States Supreme Court ruled that federal prosecutors can now present expert witness testimony about whether most drug couriers are aware they are transporting illegal drugs. This decision overturns previous restrictions in the Fifth Circuit, which covers federal courts in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
John Helms, a seasoned Federal Criminal defense lawyer, explains, “While this ruling gives prosecutors a new tool, it also creates opportunities for skilled defense attorneys to challenge these expert testimonies effectively.”
