- Abstract
The article discusses plurality opinions and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's (USCOA's) ruling in the 2013 case United States v. James which deals with the admission of an expert's records in a court proceeding and defendant Richard James' rights under the U.S. Constitution's Confrontation Clause (UCCC). According to the article, the U.S. Supreme Court's judgment in the case Williams v. Illinois, which addresses expert witness testimony and the UCCC, lacks precedential value.
