Sunday's "60 Minutes" had a double-length segment on the problems with eyewitness identification. As I watched it I looked for some other information online so I thought I would share with you all.60 Minutes -- didn't see it or tape it? Never mind, it's online. (I'm guessing it's only going to be available for a limited time online, though.) See the videos and read the transcript, plus see a short online exclusive video with Elizabeth Loftus on creating a false memory ("the Bunny Effect"). http://www.cbsnews.com/
Picking Cotton -- the book by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton has its own web site and it's awesome, especially the Case File section where you get to see all of the evidence.

The Innocence Project -- the project started in 1992 to use DNA evidence to help free wrongly convicted people. http://www.innocenceproject.
The eyewitness test shown on "60 Minutes" created by Iowa State's Gary Wells.

The rest of Dr. Wells' page is complete sensory overload but also
