Before going into discussion about the reliability of eye witness testimony, it may help to put the importance of that testimony into perspective. There are four general categories of evidence, including: real, or physical; demonstrative; documentary; and testimonial evidence. When it comes to witness testimony in general, jurors are instructed to decide for themselves how believable witness is. Keep in mind that witness could be an expert testifying about something scientific, law enforcement officer testifying about how house was searched, or an eye witness testifying because he/she allegedly saw the crime occur.
