While we don't know how many fingerprint errors are caught in the lab and then swept under the rug or, worse, how many have still not been caught and may have resulted in a wrongful conviction we clearly need a full evaluation of the errors. The argument that fingerprints are infallible evidence is simply unacceptable.
