On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court improperly denied his motions (1) seeking public funds to pay for a DNA expert to assist in his defense, and (2) to exclude certain evidence of the victim's confidence in her identification of the defendant when presented with a photographic array by the police. We disagree with the defendant's claims and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
