If we have no information about an eyewitness as to their reliability and mental state then that eyewitness testomony shouldnt be trusted ...
LOL.... do scientist have to submit to a phych eval every time they submit their work.
I generally agree, but where we cannot speak or access directly, then I think we need to rely on those around them. I also think that collaborating testimony helps here.
