To What Extent is an Eyewitness Testimony Credible and Therefore be Used in Court?

Witnesses are usually law enforcement officials and citizens, and frequently asked questions are more reliable people, officers, or citizens. Psychologist Elizabeth F. Loftus, a prominent memory researcher at the University of California at Irvine, said that the act of memory is similar to "packing puzzle pieces, not searching for videos." (Arkowitz & Lilienfeld 2009) The latter constitutes the majority of witnesses whether the impact of pressure on citizen's witnesses is different from that of law enforcement officials.

Elizabeth Loftus is one of the leading psychologists in the field of eyewitness testimony. She conducted extensive research on this issue, fundamentally changed the field in a bold position and challenged the authenticity of the witness in the courtroom. She thinks memory is untrustworthy and will do her best to support her claim. She focuses mainly on integrating the error information and the original memory to form a new memory. Several of her most convincing experiments support this claim:

Legitimacy of witness testimony Witness testimony One of the most powerful evidences in today's court system, or one of the most recognized facts of the jury, is the witness's testimony. If it is right, eyewitness testimony can help the belief of many sinful people. However, if it is not correct, the witness's testimony may cause serious damage. Researchers said, "Based on the evidence of witnesses in the UK, we recognized that more innocent civilians were mistakenly tried and convicted.

Therefore, this paper investigates whether the application of witness testimony is a reliable form of evidence used by the judicial system. In addition, this article explains whether eyewitness testimonies are appropriate as one of the most important evidence, or whether the use of eyewitness testimonies is wrong. After comparing the witness's reliability and disagreeing, I will evaluate ways to raise the witness's testimony to a level that can be more accurate. In this article we will explore the elements of eyewitness testimony and how these factors determine the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. These factors explore the influence of weapons on the memory of witnesses, how the leadership problem manipulates the witness's statements and memories, the memory reconstruction errors, and the role of these elements in human memory Application of psychological experiments is included.

This paper evaluates the accuracy of assertions that should not rely on eyewitness testimony. Since this is basically based on memory, it is done by focusing on various factors that may affect human memory, in relation to witness testimony. Experiments and case studies related to factors of three different memory stages were identified and evaluated. We analyzed the exposure time during the interview and estimated incident factors such as incident time, violence, weapons focus, and witness stress level. The result shows a very inaccurate correlation if the incident contains more trauma factors. There is some evidence to support the reliability of eyewitness testimonies, but this is also reflected in the retention process and search process studies.
