U.S. SUPREME COURT GRANTS CERTIORARI ON TWO MAJOR CASES
There are a couple of major cert. grants from the U.S. Supremes:
Can the DA use a chemist's report that a substance was cocaine in lieu of actual live testimony by the chemist, or does this violate Crawford (541 U.S. 36)?

3/18/08; US Supremes
Must the jury find the facts used to justify imposition of consecutive sentences, or does this violate Cunningham?
