If her actual fingerprint had been found on the girl's body I think the news reports would read alot differently. All I can find about the fingerprint are articles dated in the week or two following the murder claiming that cops "allege" to have found that, but nothing in any of the articles I've read from after the trial started reviewing the evidence against her.

You're just stuck and won't move, giving you any facts doesn't matter.
You're no longer interested in facts you just need to be right.
Thank you for you non-scientific theory on finger prints but you'd be smarter to
stop thinking and just press a finger print into your own skin and look at.
My entire finger print shows on my knee. If you're skin is pale them back off the
light a little.
