The U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring criminal lab report analysts to be available for cross-examination does not apply to a defendant who sought a new trial for a drug conviction that predated that decision, Massachusetts' highest court has ruled in affirming judgment. In Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts (129 S. Ct. 2527), the Court held that the Confrontation Clause requires the exclusion of lab reports regarding the weight and composition of a seized substance in the absence of testimony from the analyst who performed the underlying forensic analysis. (See "Crime lab technicians must testify at trial, Supreme Court rules," Lawyers USA, June 25. 2009.)

Although the worst examples of prejudicial, pretrial publicity are generated from trials involving Black defendants, it is only white defendants who are able to convince courts to change the venue of a trial. Compare, for example, the ill-fated trials of the "Jena 6," the "Central Park 6," Malachi York, Yahweh Ben Yaweh, Mumia AbuJamal, Wayne Williams and Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin. The "Central Park 6" resembled the Scottsboro Boys in terms of prejudicial, pre-trial publicity. Donald Trump took out a full-page ad in the New York Times demanding that these innocent boys be given the death penalty. Black and white public officials referred to them as a "wolf pack" and "animals."' A change of venue was out of the question. The need for "Critical Thinking, Legal Reasoning and Systems Analysis"...
