"intuition and imagination and intelligence"
oh I KNOW! cops NEVER ask victims for descriptions of their attackers because, you know, they are survivors of tragic accidents!
You don't have science in your quiver, lil guy. It's fucking hilarious that you think you do though. By all means... POST your scientific evidence!
this should be fun!
Stoner, you're PWNED.
it would take a fellow jew to think so... but, that's some of that chosen logic for ya. Indeed, I WELCOME this "scientific evidence".. and, if you can manage, a few more "pwned" from you too, jew.
there are journals full of support for the position, all technical publications...you can take the leads I give you and eat shit...
but you won't---take the leads I give you--shiteater
The Accuracy of Eye Witness Testimony and Its Flaws
A real life example of the eye witness testimony flaw is the Harris and Adams case. A police officer pulled over a vehicle at night to let the driver know that his headlights were turned off. The driver pulled out a gun and killed the officer.
...
Adams was finally released after an innocent twelve year sentence. Three witnesses pointed the finger at the wrong person.
How can three different witnesses point at the wrong person?
Another study was done by Patricia Tollestrup, John Turtle, and John Yille. The study focused on how we acquisition or pay attention to a certain scene, how we store that information and how we retrieve it later from our memory. They studied cases where the suspect confessed to the crime. These cases had eyewitness bystanders and eyewitness victims. The bystanders proved to have a more accurate memory of the crime scene than the victims involved. 100% of the bystanders remembered if the suspect had facial hair, only 60% of the crime victims remembered this correctly. Only 48% of the bystanders and 38% of the victims involved remembered the hair color of the suspect. The worse part is that both the bystanders and the victim eyewitnesses chose the right criminal 48% of the time in a lineup. This study shows that eyewitness testimony is very weak. It also shows that if the eyewitness was the victim of the crime, chances are their testimony is even weaker because of many factors that bias their memory. Another major reason why eye witness testimony should not take as much weight as it does today.

The Problem With Eyewitness Testimony
Stanford Law School, April 5, 1999. In a presentation sponsored by the Stanford Journal of Legal Studies, George Fisher placed Barbara Tverskys research on memory fallibility into the context of police investigations and jury verdicts, discussing the relevance of such research to our system of justice.
