Syllabus

The trial court's explanation for denying appellant's application under R.C. 2953.73(D) was reasonable and was not contrary to law. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying appellant's application as DNA testing was generally accepted, the results of DNA testing were generally admissible in evidence, and DNA testing was available at the time of trial. The trial court's alternative determination that DNA testing on the requested items would not prove outcome determinative was also reasonable.
