I tried a case, (I have Thread Analysis), and I went to the Tailor to check someone's thread. I asked for a suspect, and the Tailor said, "No this is not thread from _____ clothing." And guess what? I asked another suspect about the same guy and he said, "Yes I suspect ______ because he was washing blood off his hands." It turned out to be the guy whom I believed didn't have the thread! What's going on? Is this the same with Hair, Hand writing, and Footprint?

Only one piece of physical evidence is going to belong to the guilty party. The rest will belong to people with real alibis.

And Eyewitnesses can lie.

For more information on how to make certain you have all the information to avoid a false accusation try the following thread.
