Somebody should do a more modern version of this so that viewers wouldn't blame potato camera quality for their failures. I can guarantee that majority of the people would make the incorrect decision even if all the footage was 4K.
None. Proves what happens when cops don't tell the witness that the perpetrator may or may not be present. Not a trick question here. It's to show you how this happens.
Doesn't matter. The eye witness isn't really looking in their face most of the time identifying features. Their thoughts usually are "fight or flight" and "holy sh!t that guy has a gun!". The truth is, the person, like the woman in this episode, could be SO DESPERATE to get her criminal in jail, that she wrongly accuses somebody. School is great, but it will hardly ever argue against anything to deal with the government (weak congress/democracy, broken judicial, etc).
This could have been a much better 'experiment' had it mimicked and actual lineup. I agree that eyewitness testimony is incorrect more times than it is correct. But this little charade does nothing to drive that point home. The viewers just end up feeling tricked and walk away with nothing.
OK. So I saw the answer. Wouldn't that be a trick question then. If there isn't an option for what the actual answer is, how can this be considered an accurate answer? They were told to pick one, so that's what was done.
By the way, did you know George Washington was a slave owner? They don't teach that in school! Our great first president owned over 316 slaves! He had slaves since he was a young teen up till his death. He may have said "I can not tell a lie", but that doesn't make an honest man out of him.
Maybe if the video was more than 20 pixels it would be more accurate. Yes I'm exaggerating, but in real life everything would be much clearer.
Doesn’t matter, now give a week or possibly months later and attempt to remember. Eye witness testimony is highly unreliable

He wasn't in the line up
Hard to answer unless you know what a RUUF is.

I'm only on a phone. Only got a glimpse of profilef view with highly contrasting light & shadow. I don't think the guy was in lineup though.

I couldn't find anyone in the line up is the criminal but I am curious to find out. The link in the description not working :(

Was that a Rolodex?
Can't do it.
it was number 7
He wasn't in the line up but every "DAMN" body voted that it was at least one of them and every number got picked by somebody. People are stupid.
it's none of them.. :)

They also don't teach that there were black people who owned black slaves in America, I bet you don't want to discuss that.
@@barryweaver8833 Ok that still doesn't justify the selling of human beings.
