Eye-witness testimony, a corner stone of American criminal justice, is a very mixed bag. The absence of any corroborating physical evidence is very concerning. As a juror, in the absence of circ’s indicating reliability [it was middle of day, had clear view, was within a rsbl distance, etc] I’m not sure bare eye-wtn testimony is enough for a conviction. Same with ‘all women are to be believed’ in the absence of corroborating evidence nonsense.
Actually considered the worst form of testimony/evidence that can be used at a trial.
