Original Note:
Eye-witness accounts lead to around half of all wrongful convictions, therefore aren’t usually a trusted source of factual information. Thus, the FA “admitting their mistakes” in this instance isn’t needed, as evidence doesn’t provide there was a mistake. https://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-13-3-c-how-reliable-are-eyewitnesses#:~:text=Studies%20have%20shown%20that%20mistaken,errors%20resulted%20from%20eyewitness%20mistakes.
