Who Killed Jesus? (3 of 5)
Series: CSI Jerusalem
Jeff Strite
Matthew 26:1-5
Open: (began with music theme of CSI - "Who Are You")
The year was 1910.
The place - Chicago, Illinois.
The time - The early hours of the morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hiller were lying in bed when Mrs. Hiller sensed something was wrong. She awoke to see that the gas light outside their bedroom door was out. She woke her husband and asked him to go investigate.
Unfortunately, Mr. Hiller never got the chance to fix the night light. While he was out in the hall, he encountered a burglar and struggled with him at the top of the stairs. Several shots rang out, and Mr. Hiller ended up being shot twice… and died within moments.
The burglar fled into the night. But, later the early hours of the morning, local police questioned a parolee named Thomas Jennings. Jennings was injured, had a loaded gun, and was on parole for a previous burglary.
That alone would have made him a suspect in 1910… but something else confirmed the fact that he had been in the Hiller home that night and was indeed the killer.
In 1904, Scotland Yard brought an exhibit to the St. Louis World's Fair. They demonstrated a new science to identify criminals long after they left the scene of the crime.
Does anybody know what science was? Fingerprinting.
American police officers were so intrigued that Scotland Yard began training many in law enforcement field on how to find and match fingerprints left at the scene of a crime with those of suspects.
Thomas Jennings had the singular honor of being the first killer to be convicted by the use of evidence from the use this new science. Unfortunately for him, a railing outside the home had just been painted the day before… and he left a clear imprint in the still drying paint.
