Passage 2 Recent legal research indicated that incorrect identification is a major factor in many miscarriages (失败) of justices. It also suggests that identification of people by witnesses in a courtroom is not as 21 as commonly believed. Recent studies do not support the 22 of faith judges, jurors, lawyers and the police have in eyewitness evidence.
The Law Commission recently published an educational paper, "Total Recall? The Reliability of Witness 23 ", as a companion guide to a proposed code of evidence. The paper finds that commonly held 24 about how our minds work and how well we remember are often wrong. But while human memory is 25 change, it should not be underestimated.
In court witnesses are asked to give evidence about events, and judges and juries 26 its Feliability. The paper points out that memory is complex, and reliability of any person's recall must be assessed 27 .
Both common sense and research say memory 28 over time. The accuracy of recall and recognition are 29 their best immediately 30 encoding the information, declining at first rapidly, then gradually. The longer the delay, the more likely it is that information obtained after the event will interfere 31 the original memory, which reduces 32 .
The paper says 33 interviews or media reports can create such 34 . "People are particularly susceptible to having their memories 35 when the passage of time allows the original memory to 36 , and will be most susceptible if they repeat the 37 as fact."
Witnesses may see or read information after the event, then 38 it to produce something 39 than what was experienced, significantly reducing the reliability, of their memory of an event or offender, "Further, witnesses may strongly believe in their memories, even though aspects of those memories are 40 false."
