Fingerprint Evidence Discussion
In the past few years, there have been several significant decisions that have resulted from challenges to the admissibility of fingerprint evidence (Daubert hearings). Where do we stand now?

After reading chapter 14 of our textbook, what research can still be done to reinforce the assertion that identification based on fingerprints is a science?
