Question Presented (OCR Extract)

United States, 293 F. 1013 (D.C. Cir. 1923)? 2. Does a State’s obligation to disclose exculpatory DNA analysis from one of its own experts depend on whether the State analyst “d[id] any tests or wr[o]te a report”? 3. Did an officer’s question to Petitioner without counsel present, after Petitioner invoked his right to counsel, constitute an illegal interrogation under Rhode Island v. Innis, 446 U.S. 291 (1980), and Oregon v. Bradshaw, 462 U.S. 1039 (1983)? i LIST OF DIRECTLY
