"Ask any lawyer - eyewitness testimony is the least reliable."

There goes our court system!

Panic is not necessary.

Lawyers have known for years that eyewitness testimony is not particularly reliable. Unless the court system you're talking about is the one from "Matlock," you needn't be concerned.

By the way, we still haven't seen that alternative "interpretation" of the fossil record that addresses the evidence. The one that you mentioned way back in post #72....

I was on a jury, heard evidence in a hit-and-run. The witnesses: car was "blue", "dark", "green",...

The forensic evidence: Glass found at the scene exactly fit the broken places in the suspect's headlight.

The witnesses all were right, the car was "dark", it was night, no-one (except the drunk driver) was lying. But it was the forensics that removed any reasonable doubt.

Oh, you have too!

You guys just dismiss everything that is not according to the current ToE thinking.


(I served on a jury once for a quite vicious crime, and I can attest to what you are saying! They tended to question the victim's motives [who was kidnapped, shot and then RAPED!], the DNA evidence and the fact that the money that was stolen from her was not found, 4 days later!)
