2nd Circuit Upholds Fraud Convictions, Coin Experts’ Testimony

Mealey's (July 29, 2015, 10:03 AM EDT) -- NEW YORK — A federal court did not abuse its discretion in allowing two coin-grading experts to testify at a trial in which two men were found guilty of defrauding customers of their coin-selling businesses, the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals held July 27, finding that “it clearly was appropriate for the court to find that such testimony was relevant and would be of assistance to the jury” (United States of America v. Michael Romano, et al., Nos. 14-858, 14-1298, 2nd Cir.; 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 11401)....
