Summary
Fingerprint evidence has a long history in criminal investigations, beginning with a murder case in 1902. While unique and valuable, fingerprints can be smudged or misinterpreted, leading to potential errors. Experts emphasize the need for caution, recommending that fingerprint evidence should not solely determine convictions, as the process continues to evolve for greater reliability.
