Re: [forensic-science] Daubert and Frye Hearings for Footwear Impression Evidence

 

For general information on Daubert related materials on impression evidence you might want to look at the SWGGUN sight on admissibility issues:

Most of the Daubert related challenges have been on fingerprints, firearms, handwriting, and bite marks. Naturally, the arguments used in those areas would fit into footwear evidence as well.

The defense bar seems to be hitting hard on the notion of uniqueness, that is, testifying that one bit of evidence came from a one individual or item to the exclusion of all others. If I come across something I'll pass it along.

All the best,
