Well, if the cops are too lazy to fingerprint an item when possesion of same is an issue, I sure wouldn't blame Hollywood when the perp walks.

It's kinda basic, really...in order to prove your case, you've got to prove that item A, be it weapon or contraband, belongs to the defendant. You'd think somebody'd take the time to dust for prints, rather than just expect the jury to take the prosecutor's say-so.

There was no "issue." The cops saw him throw it out the window and testified to that fact.
