  1. Mann v. State

    420 S.W.2d 614 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967)   Cited 13 times

    "(W)here the evidence * * * shows the fingerprint found at the scene of the crime was left there by the criminal at the time the crime was committed, thereby excluding the hypothesis that it might have been placed there innocently prior to or subsequent to the commission of the crime, and the evidence further shows that said print is identical with known prints of the accused, that such evidence satisfies the law and excludes every reasonable hypothesis save guilt of the accused." See also Gonzales v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 399 S.W.2d 360, Briones v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 363 S.W.2d 466, and Bingle v. State, 144 Tex.Crim. R., 161 S.W.2d 76. The testimony of Officer Eoff, who was qualified as an expert in fingerprint identification, clearly establishes the connection between the presence of the fingerprints on the pieces of glass and the commission of the crime, and further identifies the fingerprints on the glass as those of the appellant. The test established in Grice v. State, supra, was met by the State.
