Nearly every criminal trial includes eyewitness testimony, and cognitive psychologists have hypothesized that misidentification by eyewitnesses is a common reason for mistaken convictions in criminal trials. Each of the following, if true, supports the cognitive psychologists' hypothesis EXCEPT:
A: The shock of witnessing a crime makes it likely that a witness's memory of the perpetrator's face will be distorted.
B: Eyewitnesses' reports are the most common reason for conviction.
C: Judges often instruct juries about those circumstances under which testimony of eyewitnesses is fallible.
D: In most crimes, eyewitnesses have seen the perpetrator only briefly, and people are generally poor at remembering the faces of people they have seen only briefly.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
