2001People v Leonard, 224 Mich App 569, 590-591 ; 569 NW2d 663 (1997); Chandler, supra at 610-611 . 8 See also National Research Council, supra at 25: 9 See also Harmon v State, 908 P2d 434, 441 (Alas App, 1995): That genes are shared by groups of people is of crucial significance when dna testing is employed to identify the peipetrator of a crime.

1997In Chandler, supra at 609-611 , however, this Court rejected a similar argument and affirmed that the modified ceiling approach and the product rule method of dna statistical analysis are generally accepted in the relevant scientific community.

2019Given these facts, this arrest was not the product of a violation of the Fourth Amendment, but rather the result of sound investigatory police work. 54 See Santana, 427 US at 43 . 16 federal courts as to whether the “hot pursuit” exception applies to warrantless entry into the home of a fleeing defendant suspected of committing a misdemeanor.55 Indeed, our Court of Appeals has previously held that the “hot pursuit” exception to the warrant requirement did not allow for entry into the home of a defendant suspected of committing a misdemeanor.56 In any event, this Court need not take a stance on

2016Further, in Coy, 243 Mich App at 296 n 7, this Court stated that it “has recognized the general acceptance within the scientific community of DNA statistical analysis evidence calculated utilizing the product rule, and judicially noticed the admissibility of these DNA statistical analyses.” (Quotation marks and citation omitted).

2008Second, the intermediate scrutiny evidentiary review is not to be directed toward mandating that gender-conscious affirmative action is used only as a "last resort," Hayes v. North State Law Enforcement Officers Ass'n, 10 F.3d 207 , 217 (4th Cir.1993) (racial discrimination case), but instead to ensuring that the affirmative action program is "a product of analysis rather than a stereotyped reaction based on habit," Contractors Ass'n, 6 F.3d at 1010 (quoting Metro Broadcasting, [ 497 U.S. at 582-583 , 110 S.Ct. 2997 ]).
