    Defendant's rights under the confrontation clause, which protects a defendant's right to confront witnesses bearing testimony against him, were violated where a laboratory technician was allowed to testify about the time of defendant's blood draw to establish a material factual element of the offense even though she did not witness the blood draw. The high court reversed and remanded.
