DTOID:
Up until very recently, eyewitness testimony was the single most persuasive form of testimony a jury could hear. If someone could stand up in court, jab their accusing little finger at a suspect and say they definitely (well, almost definitely, pretty sure, probably) saw them do the crime, it was curtains for the defendant. Despite being incredibly convincing, it's also been proven to be one of the least accurate forms of testimony.
