• holding that expert testimony about whether there was probable cause to arrest the arrestee was properly excluded as a statement of a legal conclusion
• affirming exclusion of expert opinion on probable cause for arrest in a § 1983 action because it would not have assisted the jury
• “While the existence of probable cause is a mixed question of law and fact, the ultimate conclusion is a question of law. . . . The proposed testimony was, therefore, not opinion testimony but rather it was a statement of a legal conclusion.” (citation modified)
