Description
The defendant was convicted of murder. The Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. 50 Or App 461, 623 P2d 1095 (1981). We granted review solely to consider one contention made by the defendant. That contention was that the Court of Appeals erred in adopting the "reliability" test for the admission of scientific testimony rather than the standard that scientific testimony must be based upon methods generally accepted in the scientific community. For examples, Frye v. United States, 293 F 1013 (DC Cir 1923); United States v. Baller, 519 F 463 (4th Cir 1975), cert den 423 U.S. 1019, 96 S Ct 456, 46 L Ed2d 391, 79 ALR3d 294 (1975).
