At the scene of the crime, investigators have isolated two major pieces of evidence: a handprint that was 9 inches in width, and a shoe print for a size 10 shoe. Investigators have also identified 6 primary suspects: 1. Donavan Slade, age 32, Male, 66 inches tall 2. Arthur Slade, age 37, Male 69 inches tall 3. Terry Argus, age 27, Male, 73 inches tall 4. Martha Slade, age 56, Female, 64 inches tall 5. Lorianna Jones, age 37, Female, 68 inches tall 6. Omma Arcadia, age 22, Female, 71 inches tall Which of the 6 suspects do you think committed the crime? Why? 1. Donavan Slade, because the hand print came from a male and his height most closely matches the predicted height for a size 10 shoe. 2.Terry Argus, because the hand print came from a male and his height most closely matches the predicted height for a size 10 shoe. 3.Martha Slade, because the hand print came from a female and her height most closely matches the predicted height for a size 10 shoe. 4.Lorianna Jones, because the hand print came from a female and her height most closely matches the predicted height for a size 10 shoe. 5.Omma Arcadia, because the hand print came from a female and her height most closely matches the predicted height for a size 10 shoe. 6.Arthur Slade, because the hand print came from a male and his height most closely matches the predicted height for a size 10 shoe.

Police investigate a suspect in a home-invasion. Eyewitnesses provide details to the sketch artist. Interviews with neighbors confirm that a person consistent with the suspect's description was seen in the neighborhood on several occasions. A surveillance camera on a neighbor's porch provides an image of the suspect walking on the sidewalk just a few hundred feet from the crime scene. Finally, a DNA test indicates a very high probability that the suspect was at the crime scene. The one dissenting factor in the case is that the fingerprint identification of the fingerprints found at the scene is different than the fingerprint identification of the suspect. The evidence would make sense if the suspect ______. a. has an identical twin b. used acid to modify his fingerprints c. works with pineapples d. wore a disguise during the crime
