Accepted Answer
On the position of a Supreme Court justice, my opinion on the fictional case of United States v. Fields is given below:What is the case of United States v. Fields.?In this case, i believe the judgement of the supreme court was too harsh. The reason why i said so is because the defendant and appellant Fields received a federal death sentence after being found guilty of a capital felony.Note that the psychiatrist's assertion was that he could confidently anticipate Fields would be harmful in the future was a major factor in Fields' death sentence. The psychiatrist stated in his testimony that he was ignorant of any "standard psychiatric or medical techniques utilized in determining or forecasting future dangerousness" and that he was also not aware of any specific empirical evidence or research. Without conducting any tests, using any other objective measurements, or using an actuarial procedure, he gave his opinion and this is a bias on its own.His assessment was supported by conversations with the prosecution and a study of some relevant records. Defense counsel objected. In accordance with the criteria for expert witness established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceutical, the defense attorney objected to the testimony as being unreliable (i.e., that proffered evidence must be grounded in scientific reasoning or methodology). Despite the objections, the district court allowed the jury to hear the expert testimony.Learn more about United States v. Fields fromhttps://brainly.com/question/11420750#SPJ1
