 1   substances       or    exhibits?

2         A.        They would receive the evidence.                          They would

 3 generate a unique laboratory case number assigned,to that

 4 case    that      allows        us        to   track    that   evidence    while   it's    in

 5 our position --                possession.              They would make a note of the

 6 condition of the evidence when they received it.                                   -Then

 7 they would         file        the evidence             in the vault      until which time

 8 we would retrieve                    it    for analysis.

 9        Q.        Okay.         Do your records reflect                  who handled the

10 drugs       after Ms.          Posey?

11        A.        The analysis was initially done by Kay Davis.

17        A.        Yes,     sir,

18        Q.        Okay.         And in looking at the exhibit,                   can you

19 actually tell             if Kay Davis handled that,                     both exhibits

20 actually?

21        A.-       Yes,     I    do     see      her   initials    on   State's   Exhibit

22 Number       2   and     State's           Exhibit      Number   1.

23        Q.        Okay.         Can you tell             if those exhibits were ever

24 picked up again after Kay'Davis did her analysis? ,

25        A.        Yes.;        The     evidence         was   returned    on December      17    of
