This is a new article I did for The Guardian on the Scottish Fingerprint Inquiry which reported yesterday. It’s a landmark report which essentially recategorises fingerprint evidence as ‘opinion rather than fact’ – a massive shift. The whole inquiry was kick-started because of the wrongful accusations made against former policewoman Shirley McKie. She gave her last press interview to me for The Guardian in 2006.
