Resumen

A partir de casos reportados, este ensayo busca evaluar el impacto que han tenido en la respuesta jurídica que se ha dado a las pruebas mediante huellas dactilares latentes las reglas de admisibilidad, las garantías procesales (incluidas las apelaciones), los cambios en las reglas de admisibilidad y de procedimiento y el surgimiento de asesoramiento científico exógeno. Centrado en decisiones judiciales reportadas en cuatro jurisdicciones del common law, Inglaterra y Gales, Estados Unidos, Canadá y Australia, este ensayo examina la abrumadoramente complaciente respuesta a este tipo de prueba científico forense.
