If I remember correctly, if testing the evidence somehow distroy or alters it, it must be done in from of an agent for the defense.

I believe that Mudd was upset because the material had not been given to the defense. That is why he appeared angry. Possibly will either have to throw it out as evidense or call for mistrial? A wrong procedure????Any legal beagle out there who knows for certain?

I don't believe that is why he sounded irritated. He told the defense to make the request. They don't test and then send the item to the defense. Just the report. Then the defense can obtain the item to perform their own tests if they wish. Feldman was putting on a show and the judge knew it.
