&quot;Eyewitness identification is known to be extraordinarily weak...&quot; and then &quot;...the police readily admitted that he didn&#x27;t match the description.&quot;<p>You can&#x27;t have it both ways. If they know the description they have from an eyewitness is weak, then they have to dig deeper to make sure they&#x27;re not releasing the actual suspect. In this case, he never mentioned whether the eyewitness actually came along and said it wasn&#x27;t him. All we know is that we was not arrested and no longer detained. We don&#x27;t know why.
