Cited to Support

May's allegation that the physical evidence collected during the investigation does not substantiate the conclusion that the Defendant committed the murders. The SBI Laboratory Report is cited to establish that SBI Agent D.J. Faggart examined the alleged weapons in the case and reported that no identifiable latent fingerprints were developed or obtained. May relies upon this finding to support his argument that the forensic evidence failed to place the Defendant in physical contact with the alleged murder weapons and that the evidence cited by the North Carolina Supreme Court as indicating guilt did not conclusively establish that the Defendant committed the offenses.
