        Next, they're gonna be saying that about snowflakes.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                So Rogue, are you saying that a brick left underwater for a coupla months won't have a 100% accurate fingerprint? CSI has lied to me


                On the serious side, pineapple juice also tends to remove fingerprints.

                    This thread is a DUD. I know of not a single case where someone has been convicted and sentenced based SOLELY on a fingerprint. It is always the case that a fingerprint is combined with other evidences that THEN leads to a conviction and sentencing. R06's thinking here is as shallow as it is towards Biblical Creationism and ID. No wonder he's lost.

                    Oh well ... my work here is done ... off to another mission.

                      That depends on what you mean by "a single case where someone has been convicted and sentenced based SOLELY on a fingerprint." If you mean that this was the only physical evidence linking the suspect to a crime, then you would be wrong. But usually if not alway,s there is going to be something more if not necessarily physical evidence. For instance, if the person had a motive.

                          Law & Order and any of its spin-offs is way better than any of the versions of CSI.

                            I prefer NCIS. I stopped watching the CSI's a while ago.

                              Yeah, and NCIS is a spinoff of JAG.
