http://www.dredmundhiggins.com/ Eyewitness identification is one of the most potent and effective tools available to police and prosecutors. It is compelling, and time after time, it convinces juries of the guilt of a defendant. The problem is, eyewitness identifications are WRONG at least 50% of the time!
The table below reports errors found in each of the cases in the database. Some cases have more than one error.
Errors Number of Cases Percent
Erroneous Eyewitness Identification 214 59%
False Informant (jailhouse snitch) 102 28%
Official Misconduct 66 18%
False Confession 64 18%
Prosecutorial misconduct is indeed a problem, Ray. BUT not as predominant a problem as eyewitness identification.
But what the "L" do I know? I'm just a liberal trapped on a conservative forum.
Have a nice day.
