California Court of Appeal

Admission of evidence that rocks seized from defendant contained methamphetamine, which came in through the testimony of a supervising criminalist who reviewed the report of another laboratory employee who did not testify, did not violate Crawford v. Washington (2004) 541 U.S. 36, since the lab report is not testimonial and defendant had a full opportunity to cross-examine the supervising criminalist.
