From "Criminal Procedure & Constitutional Protections" (Second Edition) Non Testimonial Evidence: "Evidence that does not come from the mouth of a witness and may include conduct; physical evidence that may have the operative effect of proving guilt but has not been deemed to have the same effect as speech" Examples: Blood alcohol test, physical test to identify if a suspect is intoxicated. See case Schmerber v California, 384 U.S. 757 (1966)

Yes. Examples might be the results of drug lab or DNA tests. Evidence attempting to be introduced as 'non-testimonial' faces scrutiny and challenge to determine whether it is admissible, or not under the rules of "hearsay" evidence.

The US Supreme Court differentiated between "testimonial" and "non-testimonial" witness statements in Crawford v. Washington, (2004) and Davis v. Washington with Hammon v. Indiana, (2006). For more information on these cases, see Related Questions, below.
