Heading: did the trial court err in permitting testimony on the results of tests run on the rape package when the prosecution had failed to establish a chain of custody?

Text: There is no merit in this assignment of error. The testimony concerning the test results on the rape package was given by William Ates, who was called as a witness by the defense. In addition, the chain of custody was clearly established and no evidence was adduced showing any tampering with the rape package. Grady v. State, 274 So.2d 141 (Miss. 1973). A defendant on appeal may not complain of testimony elicited from his witness by his own counsel. Quick v. State, 309 So.2d 859 (Miss. 1975); Dorsey v. State, 243 So.2d 550 (Miss. 1971).
