POSTCONVICTION — DNA TESTING — OUTCOME DETERMINATIVE: The common pleas court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's application for postconviction DNA testing where the court stated its reasons for denying the application in its entry and where DNA testing of the evidence, even if it excluded defendant as a contributor, would not be outcome determinative as defendant's conviction for murder was primarily based on reliable eyewitness testimony.
