Jennings to Hang for Hiller Murder in Illinois
Thomas Jennings, convicted for killing Clarence D. Hiller in Washington Heights, is scheduled to be executed February 16. Fingerprint evidence, found on Hiller home woodwork, anchored the case, with expert testimony by Captain Michael Evans of the identification bureau. The Illinois Supreme Court upheld the conviction noting fingerprint identification as admissible evidence alongside other proof. The record shows Jennings, a paroled convict with a bad past, lurked near the scene and was arrested after investigators tied him to the crime.
