Any attorney or judge who justifies their conviction on eyewitness testimony has to know, at this point, its bullshit. Every criminal attorney at this point knows the infallibility of an eye witness has been proven over and over to be false.
- awb 5y agoEye witness testimony is unreliable, but that doesn’t mean it’s always false. It just shouldn’t be the only evidence or the primary evidence in a conviction, as in this case. But if it’s used to corroborate other known facts that haven’t been revealed to the witness, then it’s still beneficial.
- beerandt 5y agoThis wasn't an eye witnesses glance, or false memory. It was a witness who literally chased/followed the suspect from the crime scene to a place where people knew who he was.
