View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction for murder made capital (Ala. Code § 13A-5-40(a)(7)) was reversed, as the State failed to satisfy its burden to prove a sufficient chain of custody for samples extracted from the victim's body, and the trial court erred when it admitted a toxicology report and permitted a professor of pathology to testify from that report.
