Forensics: The Confrontation Clause: Can the Sixth Amendment Protect Defendants from Junk Science?
A defendant appeals claiming his right to cross-examine a prosecution’s DNA expert was denied at trial. Amazing how simple this sounds in theory. DAs, however, often get around defendants’ Constitutional protections. Then the judge won’t pay for a defense expert to do an independent analysis. This needs to change.
