Bernard Jackson is a free man today, but he has many bitter memories. Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted him of raping two women. At Jackson’s trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of the crimes, he was convicted anyway. Why? The jury believed the testimony of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who has attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes. Jackson was similar in appearance to the guilty man. The two women had made a mistake in identity. As a result, Jackson has lost five years of his life.
The two women in this case were eyewitnesses. They clearly saw the man who attacked them, yet they mistakenly identified an innocent person. Similar incidents have occurred before. Eyewitnesses to other crimes have identified the wrong person in a police lineup or in photographs.
Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people They can become confused by seeing many photographs or similar faces. The number of people in the lineup, and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph, may also affect a witness’s decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
13. What do we learn about Bernard Jackson?
14. What led directly to Jackson’s sentence?
15. What lesson do we learn from Jackson’s case?
选项
A、The US judicial system has much room for improvement.
B、Frightened victims can rarely make correct identification.
C、Eyewitnesses are often misled by the lawyer’s questions.
D、Many factors influence the accuracy of witness testimony.
答案
D
解析
短文提到,许多因素影响目击证人证词的准确性,并以目击者观看照片为例具体说明。D与原文表述相同。A“美国的司法体系仍需改善”完全属于主观臆断,B“惊吓过度的受害者几乎无法辨认罪犯”中的Frightened victims无原文依据,C“目击者常常被法官的问题误导”则是对原文的误解。
