SUSPECT
The District Attorney requested all the robbery victims to come to the police station to study a lineup of five people. He placed his suspect at the
end of the line. Then he asked each to step forward and say, "Give me all your money... and I need some change in quarters, nickels and dimes."
The first four did it right. However, when it was the last man's turn to recite, he broke the case by blurting out, "That isn't what I said."

SELF INCRIMINATION?
Oklahoma City -- Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery of a convenience store in a district court this week when he fired his lawyer.
Assistant district attorney Larry Jones said Newton, 47, was doing a fair job of defending himself until the store manager testified that Newton was
the robber. Newton jumped up, accused the woman of lying and then said, "I should of blown your [expletive] head off." The defendant paused, then
quickly added, "-if I'd been the one that was there." The jury took 20 minutes to convict Newton and recommended a 30-year sentence.

EVIDENCE THAT SMELLS
The Dutch have come up with a new way of catching criminals, that's even better than fingerprints, it's called smell prints. Apparently, each of us
not only has one unmistakable fingerprint and DNA, but we also have a unique scent that is identifiable. In solving a crime, the police can retrieve
an article used by the perpetrator (such as a gun), and extract a smell print from the object in as little as 20 minutes. The smell can then be
stored for as long as 4 years. Once a suspect is apprehended, he is asked to wash, and then handle a cloth for a few minutes. The cloth is then
placed in a line up and a specially trained dog is given the original smell print to examine. The dog is then asked to identify all the smells in the
line up. If the dog finds a match, he barks at the container identifying which one. To make the evidence admissible in court, the process is
repeated but this time without the suspects smell. This new crime fighting tool has solved hundreds of cases in Holland, and they are now starting to
archive known criminals' smells to compare against outstanding crimes.

KISSING FREEDOM GOOD-BYE
Newport News, Virginia -- Criminals are routinely nabbed because they leave fingerprints or stray DNA behind at the scene. A peeping Tom suspect in
Virginia left lip prints.
Police arrested Robert N. Smith, 41, on Tuesday for allegedly peeping into apartments after the state forensic crime laboratory was able to match his
lip print with one taken off a window at one of the apartments.
"We get fingerprints all the time, but that's not the case, obviously, with lip prints," Paul Ferrara, director of the state Division of Forensic
Science, said Friday.
The print was discovered on an apartment window Aug. 18, and a detective lifted the print Sept. 11. Smith was arrested and charged with indecent
exposure at the same apartment complex about two weeks later.
Police got a search warrant for Smith's lips and found they had their man.
The indecent exposure charge was dropped at Smith's trial Tuesday when the chief witness failed to appear, but he was arrested on five misdemeanor
peeping charges as he was leaving court.
He remains free on bond awaiting trial. He faces up to a year in jail.
