Harmless Error (1)

State v. Thompson, 2002-239 (N.H. S.Ct., Jun. 9, 2003)

DALIANIS, J. The defendant, Dwayne Thompson, was convicted of first-degree murder. See RSA 630:1-a (1999). On appeal, he argues that the Superior Court (McGuire, J.) erred by: 1) ruling that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based short tandem repeat (STR) DNA profiling is a generally accepted method of DNA testing; and 2) denying him a pretrial evidentiary hearing regarding the admissibility of PCR based amplitype PM+DQA1 DNA testing. We affirm.
