Argued on March 17, 2020.

Issues

:

I. Did admission of an allegedly positive Diatherix Laboratories test for gonorrhea without testimony at trial of any witness from Diatherix violate the Sixth Amendment confrontation clause?

II. Did the lower court abuse its discretion in admitting an alleged positive Diatherix test result for gonorrhea in a child’s rectal swab-where Diatherix failed to follow its own procedures and the result was of near zero probative value?
