Fingerprinting And Ballistics, A&E, 2007
Firearms and fingerprint evidence have survived the doubt cast upon them by unscrupulous officers and have secured the conviction of thousands, if not millions of criminals, in the last 100 years. The valuable lesson to be learned, however, is that seemingly water-tight evidence is only as reliable as the people who handle it.
Filmed in Britain, the United States, Argentina and the Bahamas, this program examines a century of highs and lows for fingerprinting and firearms investigations, and is woven together with expert comment from the world's leading criminologists and vivid testimony from surviving eyewitnesses--some of whom have agreed to speak for the first time in fifty years.
