Tallent, Lauren
- Abstract
The article examines the possibility that the U.S.' Federal Evidence Rule 403 is being used as a weapon against the acceptability of eyewitness expert testimony. It offers an overview of research findings related to eyewitness identification highlighting the correlation between eyewitness confidence and accuracy which is said to be weak and counterintuitive. It analyzes how three categories in the treatment of eyewitness expert testimony in the courts had used Rule 403.
