Preferred term

juries and eyewitnesses  

Definition

  • The role of an eyewitness can be extremely important in the legal system, as eyewitness testimony and eyewitness identifications play a major role in the prosecution of a criminal defendant. Often the courts are left to rely solely on an eyewitness because there is no other physical evidence. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Juries and Eyewitnesses]
