Description
The evidence from the literature is unequivocal in that jurors place significant weight on eyewitness testimony despite its frequent inaccuracy and unreliability. Eyewitness Testimony: Strategies and Tactics offers insights into the perception process, helping to identify potential inadvertent mistakes. It also anticipates the likely direction of errors and provides suggestions for effectively presenting this information to a jury. The book offers practical advice for managing mistaken eyewitnesses at each stage of the legal process, from pretrial proceedings to closing arguments.
