Would Have the Most Probative Value?

Class evidence can have probative value. Testimonial evidence is generally much more reliable than physical evidence.

How can class evidence have probative value?

Class evidence can be associated only with a group of items that share properties or characteristics. Individual evidence, such as fingerprints, can be related to a single source. Probative value is the ability of evidence to prove something that is relevant to the crime.

What is the probative value of fingerprint evidence?

One of the most important uses for fingerprints is to help investigators link one crime scene to another involving the same person. Fingerprint identification also helps investigators to track a criminal's record, their previous arrests and convictions, to aid in sentencing, probation, parole and pardoning decisions.
