- Title
Detection and Identification of a Latent Palmprint on a Cartridge.
- Authors
Waldron, Michelle E.; Walls, Adrianne
- Abstract
In crime scene work, fragments of latent prints are occasionally detected on cartridges. The development or observance of identifiable latent prints on cartridges is a less frequent occurrence. Furthermore, the authors are unaware of an instance to date when an identifiable palmprint has been developed on a cartridge. This case involved the development of friction ridge detail on a cartridge that was removed from a weapon near a suspect. The person who developed the print and the examiner initially believed the latent print to be from a finger. This case will explore how the examiner was ultimately able to identify the latent print to the palm of the suspect.
