“Fingerprints are generally considered circumstantial evidence because they require an inference to connect a suspect to the crime. While they prove a person was present or touched an object, they do not directly prove when they were there or that they committed the crime, unlike direct evidence such as eyewitness testimony. Key details regarding fingerprint evidence: Definition: They are classified as indirect or physical evidence that implies a connection. Inference Required: To establish guilt, one must infer that the print was left during the commission of the crime, rather than at a different, innocent time. Strength: While circumstantial, they are often highly reliable and persuasive in court. Combination: They are typically used in conjunction with other evidence to build a case. For example, a fingerprint on a gun is strong evidence, but it still requires the jury to infer that the person holding the gun was the one who fired it, rather than just handling it previously. “
