Eyewitness Testimony - The Injustice Of The Justice System

From the day on which the very first judiciary system has been born, words given by the eyewitnesses have had such tremendous influence over the condemnation of the suspect - that it is fair to say that the eyewitness testimony is the determinant of the fate of the accused. Nonetheless, I come to question the reliability of the testimony after learning the case from the videotape. Firstly, the victim's recount the incident is unreliable. Medical …showed first 75 words of 336 total…

…showed last 75 words of 336 total…criminal, he is the bad guy, and therefore he must be the one who raped me. Look at how amazingly the speculation is done! The carelessly set up lineup greatly affects the witness/victim's ability to point out the true malefactor. Although there are alternative methods of identifying the suspects today such as fingerprints and DNA, eyewitness testimony remains such determinant so important of the condemnation, that it can never be replaced despite its inaccuracy.
