Heading: Toxicology Reports

Text: It is defendant's contention that the state failed to produce three of the four toxicology reports for the cocaine that allegedly was purchased during this investigation and that he prepared for trial assuming that this evidence did not exist. [2] The state argued to the trial justice that these reports were mentioned numerous times in the state's answer and that counsel could have inspected or copied the state's evidence in this case and failed to do so. Before this Court, the state contends that this issue was not preserved because defendant failed to object until after the reports were admitted into evidence without objection. We deem this argument controlling and are satisfied that this issue was not preserved. See State v. Wiggins, 919 A.2d 987, 990 (R.I.2007) (holding that in accordance with our well settled raise-or-waive rule, issues not preserved by a specific objection at trial will not be considered on appeal). Accordingly, we reject this assignment of error.
