6th amendment current event

1.Who - Scott Speers was convicted of a burglary using Nichole Stickle blood testing evidence.

2.What - Scott Speers challenged his conviction because the blood evidence that was was used to convict him was from a lab technician that was never cross examined in court which therefore breaches of his 6th amendment. the supreme court decided that this was not a breach of the constitution.

3.When - December 19th, 2013

4.Where - Indianapolis court

5.Why- I do not think this was a breach of his 6th amendment  because  the lab technian didn't really need to be brought into court to be examined to explain how the blood was his when the test already confirmed that it was his blood. Although you are given the right to know your  accuser  the lab tech was not really an accuser  so much as an expert witness, but because  the blood test was positive it's not really that difficult to understand so there was not really a need to bring in to testify.
