Title: The Error Rate in Eyewitness Identification Evidence
Abstract:
The error rate for eyewitness identification evidence depends on the confidence of the eyewitness and the fairness of the identification test. If the test is perfectly fair and the eyewitness reports high confidence, a 3% error rate has been estimated. In this talk, I will review how the 3% error rate was estimated and show how the error rate becomes much higher if the lineup is not fair.
