Eyewitness accounts and photographs of the violence appeared in newspapers within days of the attack.(襲擊之后的幾天，目擊者的描述以及暴行的圖片便見諸各大報端。)

Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony.(許多因素影響目擊者證詞的準確性。)

The problem of eyewitness unreliability (and memory unreliability) has been known in academia for years;(許多年來對于目擊的不可靠性（還有記憶的不可靠性）在學術界已經達成共識；)

It turned out to be a hoax; the eyewitness was wrong (or he lied).(最后證明這件事是個惡作劇；目擊證人的證詞是錯誤的(或者他在說謊)。)

They sent in eyewitness footage from the aftermath in New Orleans and the war in Baghdad—from both sides.(他們送來了新奧爾良颶風后的現場目擊畫面，還有巴格達的戰場畫面---從作戰各方。)

Reliabitity of eyewitness evidence is never absolute.(目擊證人的證據并非絕對可靠。)

An eyewitness identified him as the shooter.(一位目擊者指證他就是那個槍手。)

Police called the eyewitness about the traffic accident which happened in the street yesterday.(有關昨天街上發生的交通事故，警察調查了目擊者。)

For a good example have a look at this article I wrote about faulty eyewitness testimony.(對此，可以看一下我寫的有關錯誤目擊者證詞的一篇文章。)

So why does eyewitness testimony continue to hold water in courtrooms?(那么為什么目擊證人的證詞在法庭上總是站得住腳的呢？)
