Summary of Case:

"Anibal Jaramillo was wrongly convicted in 1981 of first-degree murder in the shooting death of two people in Miami-Dade County. After his conviction by a jury Jaramillo was sentenced to death. Jaramillo's conviction was solely based on the circumstantial evidence of a single fingerprint. On July 8, 1982 the Floria Supreme Court reversed Jaramillo's conviction on the basis the circumstantial fingerprint evidence was insufficient evidence to support his conviction beyond a reasonable doubt, and ordered his acquittal."
