@neiltyson well, you're right. "12 angry men" AND "my cousin vinny" prove that eyewitness accounts can be false.

@neiltyson You think they're shooting for a jury of easily convinced peers that will be swayed more by emotion than reality? ;) -
@ashdonaldson Every case I have heard any details about seems that way. -
@sharpenedquill Perhaps it's time the law caught up with the last 25 years of cognitive science on perception, memory & decision making

@neiltyson Honestly, that's sad they sent you home for questioning things. You think too much? Get out of here! Justice is blind! -
@transhuman@neiltyson Which means I'll probably never be called for jury duty. :)

@neiltyson couldn't the public who stand accused use more well informed people in the juror's box? -
@felixpotvin It'd be more ideal if well-educated people who understand the fallibility of memory were more likely to be selected@neiltyson -
@Jibblescribbits sure, but it looks like Mr. Tyson does his best to not get selected. It's sad that this is what it's come to. - 4 more replies
