Laboratory report - Evidence
Official statutory text
A. At any proceeding held relevant to this act, a report of the
findings of the laboratory of the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation, the medical examiner's report of investigation or
autopsy report, or a laboratory report from a forensic laboratory
operated by the State of Oklahoma or any political subdivision
thereof, which has been made available to the person or an
authorized representative at least five (5) days prior to the
hearing, with reference to all or part of the evidence submitted,
when certified as correct by the persons making the report shall be
received as evidence of the facts and findings stated, if relevant
and otherwise admissible in evidence. If the report is deemed
relevant by either party, the court shall admit the report without
the testimony of the person making the report, unless the court,
pursuant to this subsection, orders the person to appear.
B. When any alleged controlled dangerous substance has been
submitted to the laboratory of the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation for analysis, and the analysis shows that the
submitted material is a controlled dangerous substance, the
distribution of which constitutes a felony under the laws of this
state, no portion of the substance shall be released to any other
person or laboratory absent an order of a district court. The
defendant shall additionally be required to submit to the court a
procedure for transfer and analysis of the subject material to
ensure the integrity of the sample and to prevent the material from
being used in any illegal manner.
C. The court, upon motion of either party, shall order the
attendance of any person preparing a report submitted as evidence in
the hearing when it appears there is a substantial likelihood that
material evidence not contained in the report may be produced by the
testimony of any person having prepared a report. The hearing shall
be held and, if sustained, an order issued not less than five (5)
days prior to the time when the testimony shall be required.
D. If within five (5) days prior to the hearing or during a
hearing, a motion is made pursuant to this section requiring a
person having prepared a report to testify, the court may hear a
report or other evidence but shall continue the hearing until such
time notice of the motion and hearing is given to the person making
the report, the motion is heard, and, if sustained, the testimony
ordered can be given.
