伊丽莎白·洛夫特斯(Elizabeth Loftus)已经花费了数十年时间来揭露目击者证词中的缺陷。她的理念为美国司法系统提供了全新的推动力。1984年9月9日凌晨,美国加州,一个陌生人通过打开的起居室窗户进入了M夫人家。发现M夫人在睡觉后,该陌生人试图强奸她,但在吵醒了房子里的其他人之后逃走了。M夫人向警察描述了这名闯入者:他是黑人,体重大约在170磅,身高在5.7英尺到5.9英尺之间,扎着小辫子,带一顶蓝色棒球帽。
Elizabeth Loftus has spent decades unmask the flaws in eyewitness testimony. Her philosophy provides a completely new impetus to the American justice system. In the early hours of September 9, 1984, in California, USA, a stranger entered Mrs. M’s home through the open living room window. After she discovered that Mrs M was asleep, the stranger tried to rape her but escaped after waking up the rest of the house. Mrs. M described the intruder to the police: he was black, weighing about 170 pounds and standing 5.7 feet to 5.9 feet with a pigtail and a blue baseball cap.
