    In a fractured decision with no single supporting rationale, the Supreme Court in Williams v. Illinois has interpreted the Confrontation Clause to allow expert DNA comparison testimony that relies on DNA reports prepared by non-testifying witnesses. In this EIA, John M. Castellano, a 29-year-veteran of criminal practice, analyzes the legal significance of the ruling, its practical impact, and ways to approach similar issues.

     

    John M. Castellano is Deputy Executive for the Legal Affairs Division in the District Attorney's Office in Queens, New York, where he has been in charge of the Appeals Bureau for more than 16 years. In that capacity, he has supervised thousands of criminal cases prosecuted at every level of state and federal court. He has personally briefed, edited, or argued over 80 cases in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and has argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. The New York State District Attorney's Association named him Appellate Prosecutor of the Year in 2005. He has also written for the treatise Criminal Law Advocacy, published by LexisNexis, and is General Editor of the Practice Insights for the New York Penal Law and Criminal Procedure Law published by LexisNexis. The views expressed in this commentary are solely his own.
