The case is about whether a forensic expert's testimony about DNA evidence from a sexual assault kit can be admitted into evidence, even if they did not conduct or observe the testing themselves. The defendant was accused of abducting, raping, and robbing someone in Chicago. The expert testified that the defendant was not excluded as a possible source of the semen found and that the probability of the DNA profile appearing in the general population was low. The defendant objected to the expert's testimony regarding testing done by Cellmark Diagnostics Laboratory but did not object to other parts of the testimony. The court analyzed whether the testimony violated the Confrontation Clause, which allows defendants to cross-examine witnesses who make accusations against them. • Williams v.
