Scott Fraser: Why eyewitnesses get it wrong

The video discusses the wrongful conviction of Francisco Carrillo for a 1991 murder based on faulty eyewitness testimony. It highlights the fallibility of human memory and the importance of scientific analysis in legal cases. A forensic expert's analysis of the crime scene lighting led to a reenactment that demonstrated the impossibility of accurate identification, resulting in Carrillo's release after 21 years. The video emphasizes the need for integrating science into the legal system and cautions against the reliability of reconstructed memories.
