Louisiana Court of Appeal

1Opinion of the Court
DECUIR, Judge.
| defendant, Kevin D. Bolden, was convicted of two counts of aggravated rape and was sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence. The sentences are to run concurrently. Defendant alleges the trial court erred by denying his motion in limine and in allowing the State to use the results of certain DNA tests at trial without testimony from the individuals who generated the profiles. He contends the error was not harmless because the evidence would have been insufficient to convict him without these test results.
