Syllabus

Motion for application for DNA testing; outcome determinative; abuse of discretion; contrary to law. Trial court's decision to deny the appellant's motion for application for DNA testing is contrary to law and, thus, an abuse of discretion because it did not engage in an analysis of defense theories or provide the reasons on which it relied in reaching its conclusion that the DNA test would not be outcome determinative.
