Facts:
Lower Courts found accused appellant guilty of illegal sale and
illegal possession of methamphetamine hydrochloride.
Ruling:
The dissent maintains that the chain of custody rule "would
include testimony about every link in the chain, from the
moment the item was picked up to the time it is offered into
evidence x x x." This means that all persons who came into
contact with the seized drugs should testify in court; otherwise,
the unbroken chain of custody would not be established.
The Court disagree. Not all people who came into contact with
the seized drugs are required to testify in court.
