Eye witness testimony is still considered by many as very strong and compelling evidence when it come's to a crime.
If you have a very confident witness on the stand during a trial who can point out the defendant as the one who committed a crime then this can be seen as great evidence to a jury during a trial.
However eye witness testimony is still the leading cause for wrongful convictions with around 70% of convictions that have been overturned after DNA evidence proved that the eye witness testimony could not have been accurate.
With so many cases we deal with involving eye witness testimony I thought It was about time we spoke with an expert in this field. Dr. Smalarz is an expert in the field of miss identification and witness testimony and today talks me through just some of what can go wrong with our memories when it comes to picking a criminial.
