State v. MacKgreen

2 sentences

2009See Frye v. United States, 293 F. 1013, 1013 (D.C.Cir.1923) (requiring that the scientific principle or test about which an expert is to testify be generally accepted within the relevant scientific community); see also State v. Mack, 292 N.W.2d 764, 768-69, 772 (Minn.1980) (accepting the Frye standard and requiring that the particular evidence derived from that test must have a foundation that is scientifically reliable).

2007I reach that conclusion without needing to resolve the “debate” about the “currency contamination theory.” But were I to reach that issue, I would conclude that, by definition, the existence of the debate precludes the use of dog sniff evidence under our application of the Frye-Mack test for scientific evidence, which requires that the scientific principle be “sufficiently established to have gained general acceptance in the particular field in which it belongs.” State v. Mack, 292 N.W.2d 764, 767 (Minn.1980) (quoting from Frye v. United States, 293 F. 1013, 1014 (D.C.Cir.1923)).
