Annotations
DNA testing results that excluded a prisoner as a source of semen found on the victim at the time of her death did not fit within the definition of exculpatory evidence, because the prisoner was not charged with sexual assault, and his exclusion as a source of semen was not material to whether he was guilty of murder or of using a weapon to commit a felony. State v. Buckman, 311 Neb. 304, 971 N.W.2d 791 (2022).
