Defendant was found guilty of aggravated criminal sexual assault, and not guilty of aggravated kidnaping. Court properly admitted inculpatory DNA evidence, for which foundation was sufficiently laid by testimony of lab director, though she herself did not participate in the testing, as to lab's procedures and accreditations, and that part of the basis for her opinion that the DNA profiled matched Defendant's DNA. (GARCIA and CAHILL, concurring.)
