You got the correct visual. Looking up the stairway, the bannister would be on your right. Therefore, if you touched it your handprint should be "going upward". The witness testified the print was pointed in the direction of someone going DOWN the stairs.

Was the unID'd print on the bannister a clear print that could not be matched to anyone or a smeared, or otherwise unclear, print that may or may not match any of the persons involved?
