Bernard Jackson is a free man today, but he has many bitter memories.
At Jackson's trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of the crimes, he was convicted anyway.
Why? The jury believed the testimony of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them.
The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes.
Jackson was similar in appearance to the guilty man.
The two women had made a mistake in identity.
As a result, Jackson has lost five years of his life.
The two women in this case were eyewitnesses.
They clearly saw the man who attacked them, yet they mistakenly identified an innocent person.
Similar incidents have occurred before.
Eyewitnesses to other crimes have identified the wrong person in a police lineup or in photographs.
Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony.
They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces.
The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
