HN5 Under the United States Supreme Court's Crawford decision, a Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause analysis is whether a particular statement is testimonial or non- testimonial in nature, and not whether the statements offered into evidence fall into a well-rooted hearsay exception, such as the excited utterance exception. However, the Crawford decision expressly declines to define what a testimonial statement is.

It means other than oral testimony/evidence. It's an order to collect materials for evidence that does not consist of oral testimony. In this case, it was for the DNA swabs.
