Just because a second person has touched the object it does not mean that the prints that were on the object prior are now gone.

say I pick up a glass then 5 minutes later you pick up the glass an examiner MAY find both prints or ether set of prints.. Finding prints are not that easy; you need a medium for the print to be deposited. If I picked up the glass and I excited because of adrenaline then I would most likely leave a print but If I was under normal circumstances then maybe not.

Questions: Can fingerprints can be detected after another person or people touch the objects?
