5903 - State v. Phillip Wayne Lowery
Phillip Wayne Lowery appeals his driving under the influence (DUI) conviction, arguing the trial court erred in (1) admitting statements he made on a dash camera recording and (2) not dismissing the charge due to the State's failure to comply with the DUI statute regarding a second dash camera recording. We reverse and remand.
5904 - State v. Eric Emanuel English
Eric Emanuel English appeals his conviction for first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, arguing the trial court erred in admitting medical test results of himself and another individual who was also alleged to have sexually abused the victim because no one from the laboratories that provided the test results testified to substantiate the results. We affirm.

We affirm.
