o   Analysis of hair and fiber evidence can be helpful both in convicting felons and liberating the falsely accused. However, when utilized as definitive data in crime scenes, their reliability is inconclusive. In hair analysis, there are has not been enough research completed to compare the accuracy of the test in a statistical way. Still, when extracted from the hair, DNA can be deemed as an accurate means of testing. In contrast, fiber evidence can be determined as an accurate match with another source by lone statistical elimination.
