Syllabus

POSTCONVICTION — DNA TESTING — OUTCOME DETERMINATIVE: The common pleas court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's postconviction application for DNA testing of a shell casing found at the crime scene where an exclusionary result would not have been outcome determinative: even if another person's DNA was present, it would only suggest that another person loaded the gun, not that defendant was not the shooter in light of other evidence presented at trial implicating defendant.
