The Accuracy of Eye Witness Testimony and Its Flaws

Jan
25

As citizens of the United States of America, we believe the U.S. is a very successful country compared to the rest of the world. For the most part, we also trust and respect our complex justice system. If a suspect is proven guilty by the court of law and claims he or she is innocent, we usually have more faith in the court’s decision rather than what the suspect is trying to say. After all, we do want as many criminals as possible behind bars, right? If the crime committed was very disturbing such as murdering a child we become very furious and we want to make sure that someone pays for that. Once the court rules a guilty verdict against a suspect in such a horrible case, we feel safe for another day in our comfortable homes. All thanks to our perfect judicial system another criminal is behind bars.

The U.S. courts do often help protect the rest of society by locking up dangerous people. Unfortunately the system is far from perfect and innocent people receive guilty verdicts. These innocent people are torn away from their families, careers, free life and faced with humiliation. They often face many years or life behind bars and even the death penalty. Such a harsh punishment for the person who did not commit the crime. It is scary to think that anyone of us can fall in to this loop-hole in our judicial system where we can face time in prison even though we are innocent.

How could this happen, how can the court misjudge such life impacting cases and come up with the wrong verdict? Researchers had done many investigations on wrongful arrests, they found that the large majority of arrests were mistaken because eyewitnesses have pointed out the wrong people. Having as many criminals as possible behind bars in today’s system comes with a price, the price of innocent people going to jail too. The emotional victims want someone to pay for the crime, as long as someone gets punished they will feel better. The victim will go home and feel safer, sometimes not realizing that an innocent person is paying a price so the victim can feel cozy.

Many experiments conclude that jurors and law professionals rely a lot on eyewitnesses to come up with a guilty or not guilty verdict. Gary Wells (1998) researched forty special cases. In all forty cases DNA proved that all forty convicted suspects were innocent. In thirty-six of these cases eyewitnesses wrongfully accused the suspects. This is a major flaw with eye witness testimony. This is a crime in itself! First of all we are talking about forty people being wrongfully accused. More than three quarters of them are accused thanks to their “perfect memory” witnesses. This alone proves that eye witness testimonies should not be given as much credit as they are in today’s justice system.

A real life example of the eye witness testimony flaw is the Harris and Adams case. A police officer pulled over a vehicle at night to let the driver know that his headlights were turned off. The driver pulled out a gun and killed the officer. Suspect Harris was found a month later denying that he shot the officer. Harris claimed he picked up a hitch-hiker who was driving the car and the hitch-hiker shot the officer. The second suspect Adams who was the hitch-hiker claimed he was innocent but three witnesses claimed they saw him shoot the officer because Adams had a mustache and long hair which fit in to their description. Although Harris confessed that he stole the car and the loaded handgun, Adams was charged for the murder because three witnesses claimed they saw a description of Adams shooting the officer. Years later, the freed Harris was charged for a different murder and confessed on death row that he also shot the police officer twelve years earlier. Adams was finally released after an innocent twelve year sentence. Three witnesses pointed the finger at the wrong person.

How can three different witnesses point at the wrong person? Human memory is not like video or photo camera that can bring up a clear picture later in time. Our memories are often distorted by our schemas and other factors. If we are missing a piece of the picture when trying to remember something, our mind will replace it with something else. In this situation we will have a skewed memory. It was dark outside when the officer pulled the car over, therefore we can only see parts of the situation. Our mind can fill in those dark spots with other schemas when we try to remember the situation at a future time. The other problem can be the biased questions that police officers and investigators ask the eyewitnesses. For example if the officer has seen the suspect in custody, the officer’s questions to the witness may be biased by the suspect’s true description. Unknowingly, the officer might even make hints as to whether the witness is on the right track for describing a similar description of the suspect.

Another study was done by Patricia Tollestrup, John Turtle, and John Yille. The study focused on how we acquisition or pay attention to a certain scene, how we store that information and how we retrieve it later from our memory. They studied cases where the suspect confessed to the crime. These cases had eyewitness bystanders and eyewitness victims. The bystanders proved to have a more accurate memory of the crime scene than the victims involved. 100% of the bystanders remembered if the suspect had facial hair, only 60% of the crime victims remembered this correctly. Only 48% of the bystanders and 38% of the victims involved remembered the hair color of the suspect. The worse part is that both the bystanders and the victim eyewitnesses chose the right criminal 48% of the time in a lineup. This study shows that eyewitness testimony is very weak. It also shows that if the eyewitness was the victim of the crime, chances are their testimony is even weaker because of many factors that bias their memory. Another major reason why eye witness testimony should not take as much weight as it does today.

Jurors in a court case often don’t realize the imperfections of eye witness testimony. They don’t realize how imperfect our memories can be. If the jurors hear a great deal of confident detail about the crime from the witness, the jurors can easily be convinced by such a testimony. In an unusual event such as a short crime scene, a witness only collects pieces of the scene and later tries to put it altogether in to a story. Another conflict we have with memory is cross-racial identification. We have more difficulty identifying someone of another race other than ours. For example a black witness might have a harder time identifying a white suspect because blacks find it easier to differentiate between blacks. A black witness will have a harder time differentiating between whites the same as whites will have a tough time differentiating between Asians or Hispanics.

Another flaw that sometimes if not often puts innocent people in jail is the confident testimony of a victim that was seriously hurt or violated (Loftus). When this victim says with confidence “this is the guy that did it, I will never forget that face…” it is hard not to discredit their feelings and the fact that they lived through that horrible crime. Therefore it becomes easy to go with their testimony. A huge problem that Elizabeth Loftus talks about is the fact that judges will often not allow an expert to testify to the jury about the flaws of eyewitness testimony. Some judges will allow it, but others will make excuses as to why this expert testimony is not allowed. This leaves the jury uneducated about eyewitness flaws which potentially leads to a wrongful verdict.

When further researching the subject, I was amazed at some of the statistics I read about the inaccuracy of eye witness testimony. This is even if the crime occurred in broad daylight and there were many witnesses. I was also amazed at how much the courts rely on witnesses. Elizabeth Loftus went on to explain that when a judge decides not educate the jury of memory inconsistency of eyewitnesses, the jury for the most part decides the verdict from their “gut feeling”. They ignore the balance that needs to be present between physical scientific evidence and witness testimony. The jurors without the simple education rely too heavily on the witness. This leads the jurors to make the wrong decision and possibly convict the wrong person. Another great point that was made by Loftus is the repetition of seeing the accused person. When the victim spends time seeing the person in photos, in lineups, in the courtroom, the suspect even if truly innocent becomes encrypted more and more in the victims memory. This makes it possible that if the victim saw the true criminal he or she probably wont recognize the criminal anymore especially if the victim saw the criminal once for a short time during the crime.

Our ability to remember accurately is not as reliable as we think it is. We are often unaware that our memories change which causes us to change the story from what really happened. We often forget the importance of the factors that can skew our memory and perception. Unfortunately we think factors such as confidence and details are more important and reliable when in fact these factors cause errors in decision making. When a case is made, the court system and the police should not rely so heavily on eye witness testimony, they need to continue to find more evidence in a case even if there are witnesses who sound like they have a good story.

Read some true stories that related to flawed eye witness testimonies and you will see how damaging it can be!

Living with Michael Jackson (Part 2/10) Official Video

frap.us Get the Best of All Michael Jackson Ringtones FREE On Your Cellphone! Living with Michael Jackson is a documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters. Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and make nothing off limits. Jacksons decision to make the documentary was made on the suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another bid for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he has had. Jackson felt betrayed by Bashir and complained that the film gives a distorted picture of his behaviour and conduct as a father. He claims that Bashir, in the final version of his interview, used only that material which supported Bashirs opinion of Jackson, which was not a favorable one. Jackson filed complaints with the UKs Independent Television Commission and the Broadcasting Standards Commission. Jacksons lawyers claimed in a British High Court case against Martin Bashir and Granada TV that the

Landlords – 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent – Should You Do Your Own? Read This Free Report

Dec
30

Should a landlord do it himself when it comes to preparing and serving a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit?

Considering the vital importance of the 3-day notice to the eviction case that follows, the answer is not as simple as it seems. This article will address the issue of whether the landlord should write and serve the 3-day notice himself or have a lawyer and his process server take care of it.

First, a brief explanation of what a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit is. In jurisdictions such as California that use the 3-day notice, the notice is the first step in the eviction process based upon the tenant’s failure to pay rent. The notice is served on the tenant. The tenant then has three days to pay the rent in full. If the tenant pays the rent within the three days, the landlord must accept it, the default is cured, and the tenancy goes on. If the tenant fails to pay the rent within the three days, the tenant is in default and the landlord may file an eviction lawsuit (called an unlawful detainer in California) on day four.

After the three-day notice period runs, the tenant is no longer permitted to pay the rent and the landlord need not accept it. The landlord may accept rent if he wants to keep the tenant but he does not have to. If the landlord accepts rent after the three day period expires, however, the landlord waives his right to declare a default and cannot evict the tenant until a future non-payment of rent occurs.

When deciding whether to do the 3-day notice yourself, remember the 4 “C’s”: Content, Communicate, Consequences, and Cost. Regarding Content, the law mandates that certain information be included in the 3-day notice. Many landlords rely upon pre-printed, form 3-day notices. The landlord then handwrites in the information particular to that tenant and gives the notice to the tenant. These forms are usually legally sufficient and experienced landlords use the forms without a problem.

Even with pre-printed forms, however, I have seen landlords make two types of mistakes. First, I have seen landlords use out-of-date forms. If you use a form that does not reflect current legal requirements, you could lose at trial and suffer the consequences described below. Thus, make sure that the form that you use is the most current version. Second, I have seen landlords fill out the form incorrectly or incompletely. If you use a form, make sure that you’ve filled in all of it. If you’re not sure about a part of the form, don’t guess. Hire a professional to take care of it and teach you how to complete the form for future use. Don’t get caught with an incorrectly filled out notice or it could result in you losing your eviction case at trial.

The next “C” is Communicate. Specifically, the law requires that the notice be given to the tenant in a certain manner. If you don’t serve the notice correctly, you could lose at trial later. The first method of serving the notice that the law permits is personal service. By personal service, I mean that the landlord simply hands a copy of the notice to the tenant. If you personally serve the tenant, make a note of the date and time so that your lawyer can prepare the Proof of Service later.

The second method for serving a 3-day notice that most jurisdictions permit is called “substitute service”. Substitute service means that the landlord gives the notice to someone at the premises who is over the age of 18 and then mails a copy to the tenant at the property address. Substituted service becomes necessary when you go to your rental property to serve the notice and the tenant isn’t there but another adult is, such as an adult child, spouse, friend, or parent. When that occurs, the law allows the landlord to give the notice to the other adult and then mail a copy to the tenant.

In such a case, be sure that you mail. I’ve seen landlords make the mistake of giving a proper notice to an adult at the premises but forgetting to mail which makes the service defective. Also, make a note of when (date and time) you substitute served the tenant, the name of the person to whom you gave the notice, and the date that you mailed the notice.

In many jurisdictions, there is a third legally authorized method of service called “nail and mail” or “post and mail.” Suppose you go to the property and nobody is there? How do you serve the notice then? Easy. Post a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the property (usually on the door) and mail a copy to the tenant. Make a note of when you posted and mailed and you’re set.

Remember one extremely important fact: You must serve a notice on each tenant and every known adult occupant. This is also a common mistake that I’ve seen in my practice. A landlord will give one notice to the tenant who answers the door but doesn’t serve the two roommates. In such a case, you could lose later at trial against the two roommates since they were not served with notice.

The third “C” is Consequences. By that I mean, what are the consequences to the landlord of serving a 3-day notice that is defective in content or incorrectly served. The answer is that you are in trouble if the tenant contests the case and shows up at trial. If the tenant doesn’t contest the case or doesn’t show up at trial, i.e. you win by default judgment, then you got away with your mistake and you’ll win anyway.

But that is the risk that you take if your notice is bad, either in content or manner of service. You’ll be down to banking on the tenant not answering your lawsuit or not showing up to trial. If the tenant contests the case and shows up ready for trial, either himself or through a lawyer, you’re sunk.

So let’s assume for a moment the worse case scenario: Your notice is no good. You’re in the courtroom waiting for trial and nearby is Mr. Tenant with his lawyer ready to slice your case to ribbons. How bad will the damage be? Pretty bad. When the defect in the notice (or how it was served) is pointed out to the court, the court will dismiss your case and tell you to start over. You read that right. You will have to start the entire process over, beginning with serving a new (and correct) notice and then a new lawsuit, all while the tenant continues to live at your property rent free.

It gets worse. Since the court dismissed your case, the tenant, under the law of many states, would be the prevailing party in the lawsuit. Therefore, you could have to pay the tenant’s litigation costs and possibly his attorney’s fees as well. To put it more bluntly, get the notice right.

The final “C” is Cost. What will it cost you to have a lawyer prepare, and a professional process server serve, the 3-day notice. The attorney’s charge to prepare a 3-day notice should run no more than between $70.00 and $90.00. I charge $70.00. The process server will typically charge anywhere from $35.00-$45.00 per tenant to serve the notice. Thus, if two tenants reside at your property, you’re looking at a total charge of about $150.00.
