“Yeah, uh, we didn’t test all the finger prints at the crime scene, but let’s kill the guy anyway.”
I dunno, I feel like if we’re gonna kill somebody for a crime, we better be damn sure it was them. Maybe they were there isn’t much info in the OP, but leaving stones unturned at a crime scene doesn’t sound like the kind of airtight case the death penalty should be used for anyway.Â

The real facepalm is a story with no source.

Well, these fingerprints could in theory belong to someone else. Luckily they didn’t

I mean, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, I can’t blame him for trying.

I would have done the same thing. He was already toast so he had nothing to lose.

This sounds like one of the christian pastor stories where you know they have no first-hand experience with it – but it probably happened to someone so there is a lesson? Maybe?
Like this is just a stupid anecdote with no resolution – there is zero context nor lesson to be learned here. Why repeat it?

I guess he figured he would roll the dice. There’s got to be other people’s prints everywhere. If they weren’t his prints, that might have been enough for a new trial, at least.

Not fingerprints but this sounds like [Kevin Cooper](https://sbcsentinel.com/2023/01/cooper-wasnt-framed-state-panel-says/), a death row inmate in California. Claimed for years he was framed and that DNA would exonerate. Had a ton of support from different groups. DNA was tested and affirmed the conviction.
