“In State v. Phillips, the Superior Court considered this issue and found the methodology of the Association of Firearm Toolmark Examiners (\u201cAFTE\u201d) reliable under Daubert. In making this finding, the Court also discussed the use of the NIBIN system and its role in firearm and toolmark examinations. Furthermore, in McNally v. State, our Supreme Court concluded that it could not \u201cfind plain error [in the admission of expert testimony] because [the expert] did explain his principles and methodology and applied those principles and methods to the facts.\u201d Here, the State proffers that its expert will do the same.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weak reasoning in this case. Very little analysis. Court essentially just relies on this being admissible in the past and does not do any further analysis.<\/p>\n
