The court was told prosecutors had planned to have the case agent at court to obtain the DNA evidence from the accused, but he was involved in a car crash on the way to court. "He's trying to send someone else from the Goodyear Police Department in case the court does grant our request to obtain a buccal [oral] swab," prosecutors said."If not, Your Honour, and assuming you grant our request, we'll have to coordinate with defence counsel in order to take that sample.""I am going to grant the motion to take the sample," Judge Kemp said.
