Rm 001
“Wherever he steps, whatever he
touches, whatever he leaves,
even unconsciously, will serve
as silent evidence against him.
Not only his fingerprints or his
footprints, but also his hair,
the fibers from his clothes,
the glass he breaks,
the tool marks he leaves,
the paint he scratches, the blood
or semen that he deposits or
collect—all of these and more
bear mute witness against him.
This is evidence that does not
forget. It is not confused by
the excitement of the moment.
It is not absent because human
witnesses are. It is factual
evidence. Physical evidence
cannot be wrong; it cannot
perjure itself; it cannot be
wholly absent. Only its
interpretation can err.
Only human failure to find it,
study and understand it, can
diminish its value.”
