Criminal Procedure — Confrontation Clause — DNA evidence

Christopher Roalson appeals a judgment of conviction for first-degree intentional homicide and burglary of a dwelling with a dangerous weapon. Roalson argues his constitutional confrontation right was violated when the State failed to produce the DNA analyst who analyzed the evidence, as opposed to an analyst who reviewed the original analysis. We reject Roalson’s argument and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
