CALIFORNIA EVIDENCE: CIVIL AND CRIMINAL
...Opinion & Scientific Evidence
......Kelly Test (Kelly-Frye)
.........Individual Prong Hearings
3 Cards On This Topic:
  • In light of Jackson’s later analysis of the Identifiler and its methodology, trial court’s conclusion that it did not constitute a new scientific technique was proper.
  • Given the astronomical odds of D's DNA matching the evidentiary sample from V's body, E's opinion that D was the source of the samples to a reasonable scientific certainty was reasonable.
  • Use of Identifiler test kit did not require full Kelly hearing where offer of 3d prong hearing sufficed.
