1. “[u]ntil such time as the State shows that the remaining cushion sample does not contain testable evidence, and thus the State must have access to the defendant's test results and/or the portions from which the defendant's test sample was drawn, the State has not made a sufficient showing that it should be able to remove the evidence from the defense's possession.”
