The Innocence Project- Double-Blind Lineup

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
This link provides information on how to help make eye witness accounts better. It talks about how "wrongful convictions from eye witness accounts for almost 75% of 220 cases that were over turned afterward due to post-conviction DNA. It tells some ideas that have been implemented in a few states and how to go about making it so that the Eye Witness Lineup is a Double-Blind Lineup so that they can decrease the amount of unintentional suggestions for the detective to make Eye Witness accounts more reliable. It also has stories about people who were wrongfully convicted. I looked around the whole site and thought it was pretty good information.
