Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
I concur with the majority's conclusion that the issue of the admissibility of the certificate of analysis is not properly before this court for review. However, I dissent because I believe the majority should also analyze whether the appellant's convictions for both first-degree unlawful manufacture of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and trafficking in methamphetamine violate double jeopardy principles.
