Court marks negative drug test for Dylan Boyd as exhibit

At the resumed Boyd v. Paige hearing, counsel presented a drug-test result for Dylan Boyd taken March 23 and told the presiding judge the result was negative. Miss Cockrell, who asked to raise a brief matter before testimony resumed, said she had provided parties with copies and that the collection date was March 23, the day of the hearing.

The test result was described in court as negative and the presiding judge said the document would be marked as an exhibit. "Collection date was the March 23rd and the test result was negative," Miss Cockrell said. The judge responded that the exhibit would be marked and the matter would proceed.

The statement about the test was presented as evidence; no further details about the laboratory, testing methodology, or chain of custody were stated on the record in the provided transcript. Earlier in the session the court noted that the paternal grandmother had been on the stand at the prior session and that cross-examination had not yet begun.

The hearing then moved to a separate request concerning the live stream, which the judge agreed to stop for privacy reasons.
