Case Synopsis
In this case, the Court considered two issues: (1) whether DNA evidence voluntarily submitted to a public facility to absolve a defendant of a crime may be used in an unrelated criminal prosecution, and (2) whether reading a presentence report to a jury during the sentencing phase is error when the report cannot be made part of the public record.
