Question

fingerprints discovered on the knife found on the driveway _____.

certainly belong to person commiting the crime

would not exist because the knife has been wiped with a cloth

certainly belong to the victim laying in the driveway

could belong to the victim and/or the attacker, but are probably an example of locards exchange principle

Explanation:

Locard's Exchange Principle states that when two objects come into contact, a transfer of materials occurs. Fingerprints on the knife could be from the victim or attacker due to this principle. Just because fingerprints are found doesn't mean they only belong to the criminal or victim, and wiping may not always remove all fingerprints.

Answer:

D. could belong to the victim and/or the attacker, but are probably an example of Locard's Exchange Principle
