Eyewitness testimony is inherently unreliable. The lawyers/courts know it. The scientists know it. It's just the religionistas who must hang on as it's one of the last remaining shreds they have of any evidence whatsoever for their claims.

...This is consistent with statistics showing that more than three-quarters of wrongful convictions later overturned by DNA evidence relied on faulty eyewitness evidence.

Even after hearing the statistics, we are reluctant to distrust a sincere eyewitness, but decades of research show that memory is neither precise nor fixed. For instance, we would expect a moment of high stress to focus the mind and sharpen recall, but the opposite is true. Violence, stress, and the presence of a weapon during an incident actually weaken memory.
