The fact remains neither the fingerprints nor the boy ever lied.
He squatted in the lock-up with his head stuffed with suicidal thoughts. Streaming salinity often blurred his vision. He was accused of murdering a woman who lived alone in a luxurious apartment. Fingerprints found on the crime scene matched those of the accused and the victim. Fingerprints of the accused were lifted from an unopened gift box. The boy admitted having delivered the box but denied having done any crime. The fingerprint testimony, however, decided the case, and the boy was convicted.

Heartbreaking... Facts and evidence lead to injustice for someone. Liked it, Paritosh!

That's why sometimes injustice happens in a 'just' way. Thank you, Don for your comment.

A chilling ending played out too often with ‘innocence‘ given unfair treatment. Excellent writing, Paritosh.

Law is concerned only about evidence, not the fact. Well-written piece, Paritosh.

Well done Paritosh, your story shows why we need Police to do the extra work, rather than accept the easier answer. Well done.
