The State, Respondent v. Gary A. White, Petitioner

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that trial courts must exercise gatekeeping under Rule 702 for both scientific and nonscientific expert testimony, and that the trial court properly admitted the dog‑tracking evidence in White’s case. It also affirmed that White’s motion for a new trial was not before the appellate court and may be pursued in the trial court.
