'Conclusive' fingerprint errors in casework

Post by Simon Bunter »

Hi Guys.

Here is a link to an article regarding some of my work on cases reported as 'conclusive' fingerprint identifications in the UK.

Hello Simon:

Nice article. Although I enjoyed your presentation last year in Glasgow much more. Do you have an article about the some of those cases? As examiners we often forget that even if our conclusion of identification is accurate it may not support the conclusion of guilt.... the burned newspaper, the print on the pvcp pipe.

Do you have images associated with any of the cases from the article in your link? I am especially interested in the tip and the blood print.
