Holdings:

The Massachusetts Court made the following holding:

  • he Massachusetts Supreme Court has made its determination that drug certificates are testimonial based on a number of factors: (1) the documents are sworn to by the laboratory analysts before a notary public; (2) they are prepared as a finding of fact in preparation for trial; and (3) the documents, which establish prima facie evidence of the composition, quality, and net weight of the substance are essentially, functionally identical to live, in-court testimony, doing precisely what a witness does on direct examination. These factors lead to the conclusion that the affidavits are made under circumstances which would lead an objective witness to believe that the statement would be available for use at a later trial. The Supreme Court also has noted its concern with the possibility that laboratory analysts may feel pressured to alter evidence in a manner favorable to the Commonwealth.
  • The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles is an independent agency of the state charged not only with keeping complete records of the status of drivers' licenses, but also with keeping complete records of any convictions of persons charged with motor vehicle violations, rendering the maintenance of those records independent from a prosecutorial purpose and admissible as evidence.
