Brief Explanations

Locard's Exchange Principle states that when two objects come into contact, a transfer of materials occurs. Fingerprints on a knife found at a crime - scene could be from the victim or the attacker as a result of this principle. Just because a knife is wiped doesn't mean fingerprints are completely erased, and we can't be certain they belong to the victim or the criminal without further evidence.
