Mason et. al. v. Home Depot et. al;  S07A1486

The issue is that the standard for experts in a criminal case is governed by a Georgia case called Harper.  The standard in civil cases is governed by Daubert, a federal case.

The court holds that it is not an equal protection violation because all criminal defendants are treated the same and all civil litigants are treated the same.
