Biometrics Exonerate as well as Convict

Man jailed for strip club shooting sues DeKalb (ed. Removed broken link to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
At the exact moment Terry Stephenson was shot outside Pin Ups on East Ponce de Leon Avenue, Celestin and Nichols were one mile away at Atlanta Kitchen, where both men worked at the time. The proof was irrefutable, as employers of the food service equipment company had to sign in using a biometric time clock that required a hand print.
Shifting gears: for now, judges are reluctant to allow face recognition analysis as evidence. Based upon some of the phone calls we receive, defense attorneys are very interested in the technology.
