Confession allowed in Dunbar rape case:

Dunbar Village rape case suspects ordered to give fingerprints:

For those of you unfamiliar with this story back in June of 2007, a group of youths broke into the Dunbar Village apartment of a woman and her son in West Palm Beach, Florida. The assailants not only gang-raped the woman but they forced her to have sex with her own young son. They then threw cleaning fluids on the woman to try to hide DNA evidence. It still stands as one of, if not the worst, story I’ve ever posted.

Anyway, the most recent update is that suspects Avion Lawson, 16, Jakaris Taylor, 17, and Tommy Poindexter, 20, have been ordered to have their finger and palm prints taken and to submit handwriting samples. I can understand the handwriting samples but shouldn’t they have their prints already? If someone in law enforcement wants to answer that question for me please feel free.

Also, the confession of Lawson has been ruled admissible. His defense attorney argued that he invoked his right to remain silent prior to confessing but the judge ruled that Lawson did not invoke his right. However, parts of a confession given by Taylor were ruled inadmissible with the judge saying that Taylor did invoke his right.

Confessions or not I think the evidence against them is rather overwhelming.
