Amicus Brief: Kimberly Cargill

CIFS filed this amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Kimberly Cargill’s case to argue that manner of death testimony fails every requirement of Rule 702 and Daubert. It exceeds the scope of a medical examiner’s expertise, rests on no reliable scientific methodology, and usurps the jury’s core functions of evaluating evidence and determining guilt.
