Questione giuridica chiave
Whether refusal to place the ear-print trace, the defendant's ear prints, and related scientific materials in the file violated the right to be heard and access to the file.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Those items had to be available in the case file so the defendant could examine their reliability and challenge their validity.
Motivazione estratta
A police report summarizing the existence and match of the prints was insufficient. The request was not late because the appellant raised it in his statement of appeal as required by the CCP.
