As astrophysicist Neil "De Grasse" Tyson expressed it in his "Argument from Ignorance"; "eyewitness testimony is the lowest form of argument for scientists while the highest form of evidence in a court of law"! Considering that over 75% of wrongful convictions are the sole result of eyewitness testimonies...time is overdue to reform convictions based on eyewitness. It is simply intolerable to know that over a hundred people have already been executed across the States, based on eyewitness testimonies alone. CA has been a leader in many fields for so many years and should again lead the field toward nationwide JUSTICE.
From the various sources i have checked in regard to Jimmy' s case, his conviction is a total non sense! I truly believe Jimmy was associated to the crime for wrong reasons.
An other case, no longer so uncommun...yet too casual of a man's life destroyed by misidentification, lack of proper and thorough investigation.
