I like you last phrase. It is a logical conclusion from the info you provided and really made me think. Eye witnesses are the core of the criminal justice system right now. Their testimony, if it makes sense, is worth more than a lot of the other tools especially in jury cases. I’m not sure that removing eye witnesses altogether would be that good an idea. Our memories are not consistently completely different from reality… then again, maybe i’m remembering wrong . I simply think that less biased methods should really be taking the front seat. I think that this is the way the justice system is going.
