Fingerprint Evidence

Of the various types of forensic evidence perhaps the most trusted is fingerprint evidence. Persons can easily be identified by their fingerprints. We know this due to the philosophy of Friction Ridge Identification which states:

  1. Friction ridges develop on the fetus in their definitive form prior to birth.
  2. Friction ridges are persistent throughout life except for permanent scarring, disease or decomposition after death.
  3. Friction ridge paths and the details in small areas of friction ridges are unique and never repeated.
  4. Overall friction ridge patterns vary within limits which allow for classification.

People can also be identified by teeth-bite samples, gait walking study, handwriting analysis as well as through voice recognition software. All these are different kinds of forensic evidence which may be admissible in a court of law.
