People v. Williams 

Defendant was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery. Illinois State Police forensic analyst gave testimony relying upon DNA report prepared by nontestifying third-party analyst. ISP forensic analyst's testimony as to DNA report was not offered for the truth of the matter asserted and was thus not hearsay. Instead, analyst disclosed the underlying facts from the DNA report for the limited purpose of explaining the basis for her opinion, which included her own analysis and observations, on the critical issue of whether there was a DNA match between Defendant's blood sample and semen sample recovered from victim. Aggravated kidnapping sentence of 60 years can properly run consecutive to two natural life sentences for two convictions of aggravated sexual assault. (THOMAS, KILBRIDE, GARMAN, and KARMEIER, concurring; FREEMAN, specially concurring; BURKE, concurring in part and dissenting in part.)
