DOJ may test fingerprints from MLK slaying
The Justice Department is considering a request to test unidentified fingerprints from the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
Researchers of the April 4, 1968, assassination of King have suggested that unidentified fingerprints from the crime scene and elsewhere be run through the FBI’s Automated Fingerprint Identification System, which holds the fingerprints of more than 55 million people.
