...agent and confessed Russian spy Robert Hanssen admitted his guilt last July under a plea bargain that enables him to escape the death penalty if he tells the whole truth about his spying activities.

A Philadelphia judge finally agreed, and his ruling, while not binding in other jurisdictions, is expected to make it more difficult to use fingerprint evidence to prove guilt in court.
