Description

Eyewitness testimony is often considered a crucial piece of evidence in criminal cases, but research has shown that human memory is far more fallible than we assume. In this episode, we'll delve into the science of eyewitness psychology, exploring how factors like stress, bias, and the passage of time can distort and manipulate witness recollections. We'll examine landmark cases where eyewitness testimony was central, as well as the efforts to improve the reliability and admissibility of this evidence in court.
