Title: US. vs Byron Mitchell
What: Byron’s fingerprints were found on a getaway car used after an armed robbery. The fingerprints were later proven invalid.
Who: Byron Mitchell
When/ Where: 1991, Philadelphia PA
Evidence: Fingerprints were matched but it was not his so the evidence was found invalid. The fingerprints were found on the steering wheel and the middle handle.
Outcome: Mitchells 10 card was sent to all the states for each state to decide if his prints matched the one found on the car. There was 3 parts to identify, but a lot of people tried to say fingerprints were not a reliable source.
Reflections: I think this case is very relevant
