People v. Boston,
In 1997, a Chicago woman was found stabbed to death in her bathtub. A bloody palm print was on the wall. The blood was her own, but the maker of the print was not identified, and the case remained unsolved. In 2004, a Cook County prosecutor appeared before a grand jury, requesting a subpoena in the cold case for the palm prints of Jerry Boston, who was then incarcerated on a natural life sentence for armed robbery.
