Description
Defendant, Charles T. Houser, was charged with first degree murder in the death of Janice Ross Patterson. After a jury trial,
defendant was found guilty of second degree murder. He was sentenced to serve 27 years in prison, with credit given for 497
days served in jail prior to sentencing. Defendant timely appealed and in this court assigns six errors. In view of the fact that we determine that the cause must
be remanded for a new trial in connection with the reception of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evidence, we will discuss only
the assignments of error which present problems that will arise on the retrial. Other assignments, concerning matters which
will not arise on retrial, will not be discussed herein. In the assignments of error with which we are concerned, defendant
alleges that the trial court erred (1) in overruling his motion to suppress evidence obtained in a search of defendant's
residence, (2) in admitting identification evidence based on a suggestive photographic array, (3) in overruling defendant's
motion in limine concerning "evidence of DNA fingerprinting that has not been found sufficiently acceptable or reliable to
the scientific community," and (4) in later permitting that evidence to be submitted to the jury at trial.
