(snip) In what was the court's next to last day in issuing decisions from the 2008-2009 term, the justices also: -- Ruled 5 to 4 that forensic reports prepared for criminal trials are the same as testimony for the prosecution and that those who prepare them must be available for cross-examination by defense lawyers. The dissenters said such a requirement was a dramatic change in criminal proceedings and could have a debilitating impact on the criminal justice system. [Not sure if this includes only persons who work for the DA, or if it also includes outside specialists hired by the prosecutor] (snip) The court will conclude its term Monday.
