The District of Columbia Court of Appeals reversed the conviction of Robert C. Young for a violation of Mr. Young's 6th Amendment rights.  The full opinion can be seen here.  

The sixth amendment issue involved the testimony of an FBI examiner who testified that Mr. Young's DNA matched DNA evidence found at the scene of a rape in NE Washington, DC.  Mr. Young argued to the Court that it was reversible error to admit the FBI examiner's testimony without calling the lab technicians "who derived and identified the two DNA profiles and performed the calculations on which the testifying examiner based her conclusions."  To permit the FBI examiner's testimony was a clear violation of the Confrontation Clause.

The Washington Post reports that after a preliminary hearing on April 3, D.C. Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin released Diana Lalchan into a halfway house and placed her on GPS monitoring after finding she may have acted in self defense.  Lalchan is accused of killing her husband in their SW Washington condo on March 28.  In addition to releasing Lalchan into a halfway house, Judge Morin also reduced the charges from Second Degree Murder to Voluntary Manslaughter.
