Kate Winkler-Dawson: 本期节目讲述了1905年发生在英国南伦敦查普曼油漆店的双重谋杀案，这是英国历史上首例使用指纹证据的案件。店主Thomas Farrow和妻子Ann Farrow被发现惨遭杀害，凶手抢走了大约10英镑现金。警方在案发现场提取到指纹，并通过比对数据库中的指纹信息，最终将嫌犯锁定为Stratton兄弟。然而，由于指纹鉴定技术尚不成熟，法官提醒陪审团不要过分依赖指纹证据，要综合考虑其他证据。最终，Stratton兄弟被判有罪并处以死刑。本案引发了人们对指纹证据可靠性的讨论，也凸显了在法庭科学中，证据的全面性和可靠性至关重要。 Paul Holes: 从法医的角度分析此案，凶器可能是撬棍等重型钝器，受害者头部遭受多次重击，伤势严重。案发现场没有明显的强行闯入痕迹，凶手可能在受害者开门时进入店内。凶手戴着简陋的面具，这可能表明他们缺乏经验或事先没有计划杀人。指纹证据虽然在案件侦破中发挥了作用，但仅凭指纹证据不足以证明嫌犯犯有谋杀罪。本案中，警方还收集了大量的间接证据，例如目击证词、嫌犯的不在场证明、嫌犯的衣着和行为等，这些证据共同构成了对嫌犯的有力指控。
