A suspect is linked to a murder by the presence of hair found on a chair at the victim’s house and a fingerprint found on the coffee table. Crime-scene investigators found a fingerprint consistent with a suspect’s fingerprint, and they found the hair to be similar to the hair from the head of the same suspect. Provide arguments supporting the claim that this evidence is not sufficient to prove the suspect was the murderer. Include the following terms in your answer - Be sure to define all of the terms while you are using them!
