    Done with Jury Duty. I said I could not convict a person solely on eyewitness testimony. They sent me home. I'm now 0 for 4.

        @neiltyson We know how flawed & open to bias perception & memory are, yet eyewitness testimony is still held in high regard as evidence.

        @neiltyson The most concerning thing about a jury trial would be your fate in the hands of 12 people who can’t get out of jury duty.

        @neiltyson @SeanThomas916 I once was selected because I'm a scientist (I think). Eyewitness said there was a knife. No evidence there was.

        @neiltyson While I respect the issue of unreliable eyewitnesses unfortunately it's intelligent people like you that are needed on juries.
