Convicted Oregon burglar
challenges fingerprint evidence
By CONRAD WILSON
Oregon Public Broadcasting
PORTLAND — In 2016,
a jury convicted Audrey
Cannon of burglary after
police said she broke into a
house in northeast Portland.
Forensic
investigators
with the Portland Police
Bureau linked Cannon to
the crime scene based on a
fingerprint recovered from a
liquor bottle they analyzed.
“She was charged and
convicted of that crime based
on the fingerprint,” said
Marc Brown, Oregon’s chief
deputy public defender for
appeals.
According to court docu-
ments, the latent fingerprint
is the only evidence that
connects Cannon to the crime
scene.
“It’s a problem because
we like to have evidence
that’s reliable,” he said.
The Oregon Court of
Appeals heard Cannon’s
appeal Friday in Salem. It’s
unknown when a ruling will
come, but the case could
change the way fingerprint
evidence is presented in
Oregon’s courts, or whether it
should be allowed at all.
For decades, fingerprints
have been used during trial
as
irrefutable
evidence
linking a person to a crime.
But recently, science has
found the way fingerprints
are collected and analyzed is
subject to error.
Cannon’s case is unique
because the conviction relies
heavily on the fingerprint
evidence. It forces Oregon’s
appeals court to consider
the quality of fingerprint
evidence and how it’s
presented in court.
Fingerprint Science
Fingerprints are used all
the time to identify people,
whether for a background
check or a gun permit. Those
fingerprints are done in a
controlled setting and are
widely accepted.
The issue Cannon’s
case raises involves latent
fingerprints — those left
unintentionally.
“Think about the dynamics
of touch,” said Liz Flannery,
a supervisor at the Oregon
State Police crime lab.
“How does the finger actu-
ally contact the surface? Is it
during course of movement?”
she posed. “If so, there’s the
potential that you’re creating
distortion in the fingerprint.”
Most latent fingerprints,
Flannery
said,
aren’t
completely clear.
Brown said the Mult-
nomah County judge who
presided over Cannon’s trial
should not have allowed the
jury to hear the fingerprint
evidence.
“There’s no appellate
case that says this is valid
science,” Brown said. “Most
states have an appellate deci-
sion from way back when
that says these are valid.”
By all accounts, scientific
evidence is powerful at trial.
It’s only become more so
because of TV crime shows
that depict forensic investiga-
tors clinching convictions.
