Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

The petition for review is granted. The issues to be briefed and argued are limited to the following: Did the prosecution's expert witness relate inadmissible case-specific hearsay to the jury by using a drug database to identify the chemical composition of the drug defendant possessed? Did substantial evidence support defendant's conviction for possession of a controlled substance ( Health & Saf. Code, § 11375, subd. (b)(2) )?
