Eyewitness testimony
TopicHeard in 1 episode across 1 show since Jul 2026
Eyewitness testimony is the account given by a bystander or victim in a courtroom, describing what they observed during a specific incident under investigation. While historically considered a highly credible source of evidence, modern psychological research and forensic science have demonstrated that eyewitness memory is highly malleable and prone to errors. Consequently, its reliability is frequently scrutinized within the legal system.
