Pros & Cons of Testimonial Evidence Presentation developed by T. Trimpe 2006  http://sciencespot.net/ Eyewitness Basics
Testimonial evidence includes oral or written statements given to police as well as testimony in court by people who witnessed an event.  Eyewitness accounts can be a useful tool in helping investigators with analyzing a crime scene, but are not viewed to be highly reliable.  In addition, eyewitness identifications (right or wrong) can have a big influence on the outcome of an investigation or trial.  People are likely to view the same scene in different ways depending on their positions, line of sight, familiarity with the area, and other factors that can interfere with a person’s ability to remember details. What is testimonial evidence? The Bunny Effect CBS News Video

Editor's Notes

  1. Teacher Note : Try to influence the students’ memory of the items. As they are writing down the items they remember, suggest two or three items that were not shown, such as a banana (on the info slide), a nail (goes with hammer), or pen (instead of the pencil). As you go over the correct items, ask the students if they added any of the ones you told them to remember. Tie this into the discussion (next slide) on how a person’s memory can be affected by another person.
