FBI Screws Up Fingerprint Tests...Has To Let Serial Killer Go Free
FBI Botches Fingerprint Tests Of Suspect In Serial Killings In Several States
Atlanta, Georgia – The FBI admitted it made mistakes on fingerprint tests that allowed a man now considered a suspect in as many as 20 killings to go free, authorities said. Jeremy Jones was arrested and jailed on minor offenses three times in Georgia's Douglas and Carroll counties in 2003 and 2004 under the name John Paul Chapman. Local police fingerprinted him and sent the prints to the FBI under the name Chapman, but the FBI did not match the prints to Jones, who was wanted in Oklahoma for sexual assault, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday. As a result, Jones was released. A grand jury in Alabama returned a capital murder indictment against Jones on Monday. He has been held there since he was charged last September with raping and murdering Lisa Nichols. The FBI issued a statement Tuesday saying "law enforcement lost an opportunity to prevent further criminal activity by this individual." "The FBI regrets this incident," said Thomas E. Bush III, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division. Georgia Bureau of Investigation Assistant Deputy Director Terry Gibbons said she was surprised to learn of the mistakes. "It's very infrequent to have this sort of error with automatic fingerprint identification systems now in use," Gibbons said. After Jones was arrested in Alabama, Georgia authorities questioned him about two deaths in Douglasville, west of Atlanta, including that of a 16-year-old girl. Last month, authorities in Forsyth County, northeast of Atlanta, said Jones had given them a statement saying he raped and killed a woman there in April 2004 and dumped her body off a bridge. No body had been found and no charges have been filed.

On the plus side (if there is one), he never went to trial, so if he gets caught again, this incident wont be admissible at all and they damn well better make sure they dont fuck things up a second time.
