Explanation: Well firstly sometimes family members share the same blood type so it could have been a relative that was their at the time of the crime. this is not enough to convict him because we do not know for sure if the blood type has a match to another person and we would have to see if any other DNA factors such as finger prints were left behind. If their is a trace of his finger prints then he is a suspect in the crime if not he could be a suspect until we find the other suspects finger prints and get a sample of his blood to test and see if it is a match.
