The problem isn't so much the admitting of eyewitness testimony, it's the weight given to it and, in your example, the addition of racism that leads to false convictions. As long as there is racism, there will be false convictions.

- kmoser 3y agoSo you think video recording always shows the absolute truth and can never be misinterpreted? Any evidence can be misinterpreted. While I agree that eyewitness testimony has been shown to be nowhere near as reliable as most people think, it still has value.
