State v. Lopez, 2009-280-C.A.
Admitted into evidence was an allele table, which presented the numerical-DNA profile of each of the seven samples tested. A supervisor at Cellmark testified that he prepared this chart based on his analysis of computer-generated graphs, which consisted of "raw data" obtained from the PCR-testing stage. The report and conclusions then were reviewed by another analyst at Cellmark, Kelli Byrd.Although he did not observe their execution of the testing, Quartaro testified that he personally was satisfied that protocols were followed after examining their case notes and the data collected.
