A fingerprint expert from the lab, Karley Hujet, testifies at Lepsch’s murder trial that one print from Lepsch has been found on a glass display case from May’s Photo in La Crosse.  Lepsch is accused of killing Paul and A.J. Petras at the photo store last fall, but he claims he never went to that shop. Earlier testimony today from another crime lab expert said no DNA from Lepsch could be found at the murder scene.
