Question presented
Did the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit fail to follow this Court’s recent decision in Diaz v. United States, 602 U.S. 526 (2024) in favor of their own precedent on the scope of expert testimony under Federal Rules of Evidence 704(b) in holding that a psychological expert could not give an opinion in a prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) that the defendant did not generally have sexual interest in children?
