United States Ninth Circuit

The district court properly denied defendant's habeas corpus petition challenging his murder conviction, where the state trial court's compromise to have either a neutral laboratory or the defense expert test the remainder of blood sample after the prosecution had conducted an initial DNA test, but only if the results were made available to both parties, was neither contrary to nor an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law.
