First, I'd like to say, on behalf of Voom Technologies, that Voom whole-heartedly supports the Court's ruling on Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts. Anytime the Supreme Court upholds constitutional rights over other considerations it's a win for this country. I also agree with you, and Justice Scalia who states in the Court's opinion that "confrontation is designed to weed out not only the fraudulent analyst, but the incompetent one as well." While, our experience has been that the analysts' performance and knowledge is excellent, this ruling will help to keep it that way. Additionally, though Voom offered an analysis of the Court's ruling as well as the supporting and dissenting opinion, the dissenting Justices do, in fact, state emphatically that this will be severely burdensome on crime labs and analysts nationwide. Voom tends to agree with that statement. You ask if the burden is worth it. It certainly is. This country was built upon creative people developing effective solutions that address burdesome issues like this and others. We believe the Voom Shadow 2 helps to address this very issue, and we expect to see more innovations in technology as a result of this ruling.
