WILLOW GROVE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On October 30th, 2013, the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania issued a decision in the case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Apellee) vs. George William Yohe, II (Appellant). In this landmark decision, the Court defined who constitutes an “Analyst” for the purpose of providing testimony where forensic scientific analyses occurred. Prior decisions on this matter have been issued by individual states as well as the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Unlike prior cases, the issues in the Yohe decision specifically addressed how forensic science laboratories should manage their casework to avoid many of the limitations identified in other decisions. NMS Labs casework model was upheld in the Yohe decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court as successfully balancing the defendant’s constitutional right to confrontation with quality forensic practice and efficient use of scarce forensic science resources.
