Petition for certiorari denied on November 19, 2018
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-1676 Ala. Crim. App. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2018

Issue: Whether the Alabama courts’ decision to permit the introduction of written “reports” to law enforcement, regarding blood alcohol tests, into evidence for the truth of the matters asserted therein — despite the lack of testimony from the person who performed the test and signed the report, or any witness who personally involved in the testing of the blood samples in question — is contrary to Bullcoming v. New Mexico.
