Chuck Berry Quotes

Berry, Chuck. "What I've Learned: Chuck Berry." Interview by Cal Fussman. Esquire, Jan. 2003.
In 2005 terrorists exploded bombs in the Spanish Railroad system. Fingerprints were found on bombs. The FBI found that the prints belonged to Brandon Mayfield, an Oregon attorney who married an Islamic Egyptian woman; he also had a Muslim client. He was arrested and held without bail based on the FBI testimony about the quality of the fingerprint match the quotes from which are above. The Spanish police did not think that there was a match and kept investigating and found the bomber whose fingerprints matched the samples perfectly. Based on this embarrassing fact, Mayfield was released. The quotation shows that there were no accepted forensic science standards. Each fingerprint examiner, sets his own standards for what he will describe as a “perfect match” of 100% reliability. The FBI sworn expert testimony was 100% wrong. Forensic testimony came under suspicion; public opinion changed when people realized that fingerprinting is not the objective reliable identifier that they thought. See linked quotes.

Charles Edward Anderson Berry was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. Nicknamed the "Father of Rock and Roll", Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive with songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958). Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and developing a music style that included guitar solos and showmanship, Berry was a major influence on subsequent rock music.
