- Eyewitness testimony -- it's often thought of as solid evidence in criminal cases, but researchers including Iowa State University's Gary Wells have found that our memories aren't as reliable as we think. Sometimes, we can even build false recollections about people we only think we saw.

The beat had no business dropping like that.

I just had a class taught by Dr. Wells, he is an absolute genious! Not only is he a master of his field, he is a master at teaching itself.
Obviously not that great at teaching spelling...
NSF (or whoever made this final video) needs to learn how to use background music. It shouldn't be as loud as the person speaking.
As far as I remember, the Eyewitness oftentimes may need to remember some of the following things.
1: The Race Of The Suspect
2: The Suspect’s Height
3: The Suspect’s Clothing
4: The Color Of The Suspect’s Vehicle
Eye witness testimony should not be enough to convict by itself
Maybe eyewitnesses testimonies should be viewed more as leads then evidence.
It should be like a hair sample with no DNA, not enough to match, just show it’s consistent.
Here for Criminal Justice class. But this is legitimately interesting to me.
One must ask how courts can convict on eye witness testimony when the Mandela effect, affects millions and the brain can insert false memories
when you actually know the person that matters
on jah?
Odd that a documentary about eyewitness accuracy not once hinted at how accurate it is, only how it missed when it misses. What if sports stats and payrolls were like that? Give us facts, not glitter.
About in line with confessions: extremely unreliable unless the information leads to confirmation.
Looks like a wannabe Tom cruise
