Interesting and important question, although I tend to agree with AlexSchell that the claim made about taking eyewitness testimony seriously is unrealistic.

Not sure why someone downvoted it...

After reading and taking classes in judgement i really am curious why we put any stock in eyewitness testimony. The only thing i can thing of is that it might be the only type of evidence in a trial but should that be suffienct to convict someone?
