Commonwealth v. Sanchez

REVERSED status graphic: Commonwealth v. Sanchez. 032242 Commonwealth v. Sanchez 06/10/2004 The Court of Appeals erred in finding that a hit-and-run defendant's conclusory proffer in support of a request for additional funds to secure trial testimony from a DNA expert showed the required "particularized need." The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant's request. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and defendant's conviction is reinstated.
