1Opinion of the Court
JERRE S. WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge:
A jury found Victor Alexander, a physician, guilty of the robbery of a savings & loan institution in New Orleans’ central business district. Dr. Alexander is appealing his conviction, claiming that the district court erred in excluding the testimony of two expert witness who were crucial to his defense of mistaken identity. These witnesses would have testified as to the difficulties and inaccuracies involved in comparing photographs of Dr. Alexander with pictures of the robber taken by the bank surveillance cameras. We reverse the conviction.
