Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Thus, the jury was not apprised of the fact that the State's expert witness was attesting to a DNA match that was actually inconclusive and not supported by the evidence in her possession. 2. Question: Has prejudice been shown where defense counsel failed to elicit through cross-examination and/or : present evidence to the fact that, Petitioner's co-defendant and State's key witness had a bias, motive to lie, or interest to testify on bahalf of the party and office that had control over his pending charges.
