Moonlight Murder On Lovers' Lane - Plot & Excerpts
First. McCarter got Faurot to admit that not all of the points on the suspect fingerprint matched Willie’s and that the card could have been contaminated.In addition, there was reason to wonder if the fingerprint had been planted on the card. In 1922, the fingerprint experts who carefully went over it had been unable to find any prints. No one then had taken Willie’s fingerprint, or anyone else’s for that matter. Had they found a print, they would have fingerprinted every suspect.The defense had experts, too, who were just as certain that Willie had not made the suspect fingerprint (although they undermined their position by accepting the forgery idea as well). In addition, the card had been exposed to the elements for 36 hours and was passed from hand to hand. Could a readable print really survive all of this for absolute identification? So much for the new science.Dr. Otto Schultz, who had performed the most recent autopsies, described what he believed had happened that night. He unveiled a manikin head to show the bullet trajectories on both victims.
