2011In Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, - U.S. -, 129 S.Ct. 2527 , 174 L.Ed.2d 314 , 77 U.S.L.W. 4574 (2009), like this Court in its 1985 ruling in Barnette v. State, 481 So.2d 788 (Miss.1985), the United States Supreme Court found that a certificate of analysis pertaining to the nature of the substance (i.e., cocaine, a necessary element for the crime of distributing and trafficking in cocaine) was testimonial and, therefore, was erroneously admitted.
