The Courts have accepted and have taken judicial notice that fingerprint evidence is a positive means of establishing a person's identity.
The scene of any crime should be examined for fingerprints before any physical objects are moved. A "print" is made by an individual touching an object and reproducing or transferring any one of these ridge formation areas of the human body:
- the BULBS OF FINGERS AND THUMBS
- the PALMS OF HANDS
- the BULBS OF TOES
- the SOLES OF FEET
"Prints" are used as a positive means of identification due to two qualities of the friction ridge formation areas of the human body. These ridges are 1) unique and 2) unchanging. Ridges are formed approximately three months before birth. In their natural state, these ridges retain their individual characteristics of same shape and relative position until deterioration of the body after death.
HENCE, THE PRINCIPAL USE OF "PRINTS" IS TO ASSOCIATE AN INDIVIDUAL WITH AN OBJECT.
