They did a lineup with the cashier too I believe. Just another example of eye witnesses being useless.
Not just that, according to his lawyers in the article, he was 2 thousand miles away when the robberies happened that he was "identified" as being at.
After experiencing my own false memories and how easy they came to me, I will never, ever trust an eyewitness account. Give me video proof or gtfo.
No one should trust another human's account as being 100% accurate and true. The only thing that's trustworthy are recordings from secure sources.
Maybe the real criminal looked very much like this guy?
