Fingerprints are an inexact science to begin with.

Doubtful the Coroner's office compared the fingerprints. Here the Coroner would take the prints and send them off to CBI for comparison.

If CBI says the prints belong to John Smith that's what they go with.

It turns out that the coroner’s office never conducted a fingerprint identification.


OK, that's different.
