Last
term, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that prosecutors have to make
forensic experts available to the defense for cross-examination if
their work is going to be admitted into evidence. The case has
defense attorneys celebrating and judges and prosecutors angry. But
as Senior Editor Radley Balko writes, with a more
prosecution-friendly justice in Sonia Sotomayor on the bench, and a
new case with similar issues at stake slated for next term, that
all may change.
