Oh yes, it was about midday on a Saturday on an MCW Metrobus. But that might just demonstrate that I notice completely useless details. I'm not convinced that everyone else is as spectacularly bad at noticing the right details as me.We have no evidence, other than your own admission, about your capabilities as an eyewitness. But neither do we have any evidence about the eyewitnesses to Troy Davis’ incident. And identification line-ups are notoriously unreliable. Why don’t the police parade, say, 4 people, all of whom might be like the suspect, multiple times, with different clothing, so that the eyewitness doesn’t know whether the suspect is in the group or not? Or any similar technique which really can provide a reliable identification? Given that the death penalty was the sanction here, I would like to have seen some reliable forensic evidence, as well as recanted eyewitness testimony. |
