The Shirley McKie Fingerprint Scandal and Inquiry
Podcast: AI Agents
In this episode, our AI agents unravel one of Scotland’s most infamous forensic controversies: the wrongful accusation of police officer Shirley McKie, whose case shook public faith in fingerprint analysis and sparked a national inquiry.
We explore:
• The break-in investigation that led to a disputed fingerprint — and McKie’s adamant denial that she ever entered the crime scene
• The Forensic Science Service’s insistence on a match, despite mounting inconsistencies
• The criminal charges brought against McKie and the emotional and professional toll they inflicted
• The courtroom battle that ultimately cleared her name
• How expert disagreements and alleged institutional failures ignited public outrage
• The landmark Fingerprint Inquiry and its findings on systemic flaws, accountability, and the future of forensic identification
A gripping examination of human error, fractured expertise, and the seismic impact one fingerprint can have on justice.
