chapter 38 requesting Forensic analysis and testing are an
appealabe process,In the interest of justice and fairness.
simple putt the trie of fact or noone in the court truthfully
knows what size of bullete was recovered out of the car,.
the State abused its descretion in not veiwing the merits of the
writ on the contents of the bullett,if the appeal is denied,
then the only coarse of action left appears to be writ of mandamus
for testing of the Bullett.
Wherefore,premisies considered Appeallant Prays that this Honorable
appeals court grants appeal on the merits of the motion that was
denied,for testing of a bullett that was wrongfully admitted from
an officer who is not skilled in testimony of ballistics {NOTE]l.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
