For years, the efficacy of eye-witness testimony in criminal cases has been in doubt. Over time, studies have shown that witnesses to a crime often make unreliable witnesses, especially when picking a perpetrator from a line-up. It is not uncommon for multiple witnesses to choose multiple suspects from the same line-up. Now, studies are casting doubt on other studies, making us all very confused.

The upshot of all this is, eye-witnesses and studies on eye-witnesses are unreliable. Which goes a long way in explaining why Jacob Stoodle,



was arrested for a crime allegedly committed by,



Joshua Rosen (who turned out to have been 2,000 miles away at the time of the incident anyway).

The two now correspond and are good friends.
