Day Two: “Activity #2”
Eyewitness Basics
 Eyewitness accounts can be a useful tool in helping investigators
with analyzing a crime scene, but are not viewed to be highly
reliable as evidence.
 People are likely to view the same scene in different ways
depending on their positions, line of sight, familiarity with the
area, and other factors and distractions that can interfere with a
person’s ability to remember details.
What kind of witness are you/would you be?
Memory Challenge
Directions:
You will have 1 minute to view the next
screen.

Identification
Challenge
This man was caught on a
security camera video.
A short while after this
video was taken, this man
shot and killed a security
guard.
Look at this man for a
brief moment and then
see if you can identify
him.
Group Identification Challenge: Go to your whiteboards!
Having seen the gunman, you should now be able to pick him out.
In examining the photo keep in mind that the gunman's appearance might
have changed somewhat.
Take your time and examine every person.

The fact is that none of these five people is the gunman.

Witness to the Killing of the President
You are Mary Moorman, a witness the day of the Kennedy
Assassination. You have a camera and take this picture. This is your
view in front of the grassy knoll the instant JFK is shot.
What do you see?
Write everything you see in this
picture now in the space provided!
Compare what you saw (and wrote down) to what some experts believe they see
here after analyzing the picture and photo enhancing it.
The “Badge Man” photo (taken by Mary Moorman)
Group Identification Challenge: Go to your whiteboards again!
Watch this Video: You are about
to be a witness to a crime! Are
you a reliable witness?
1.
A man went into the shop up the road. How was he
dressed?
The man going into the shop was wearing dark clothes.
2.
A woman parked her car in the street shortly before the crime
took place, did you notice her car?
In fact it was the Renault Scenic. Car #5.
Evidence suggests that, although our memory of a frightening event
might be strong, it focuses on key elements such as the weapon, and not
on general details, such as cars parked in the street at the time.
3.
What color hair did the woman have?
The woman had blonde hair.
Research shows that woman are better at recalling details
about other woman, while men remember details about other
men best!
Group Identification Challenge:
Continue to man your white boards!

2.
Results show that 40 percent of the audience chose suspect
number 3.
Dr. Phil informs his audience that anyone who voted chose an
innocent man because the real perpetrator was not in the lineup.
3.
The use of police lineups are flawed.
4.
Eyewitness accounts are flawed as well as peoples memories of
facts and events.

Witness Reliability Rating Guide
• Total Your Scores in each box and circle your rating on
your handout:
• 40-36: Excellent-Very reliable witness-”We will see you in court!”
• 35-32: Good-Reliable witness- “We might contact you later.”
• 31-28: O.K.- “Thanks for the info.”
• Below 28: Unreliable witness
Final Discussion Question(s)
1. Explain in a detailed paragraph how eyewitness accounts
can be highly unreliable in analyzing a crime scene. What
kind of evidence might be more valuable to law enforcement
officers? Why?
2. Knowing now that all people’s memory ability is flawed in
some way, what kind of evidence of learning should
be used by a teacher in class beside the memorization of
facts (which are low level skills by the way).
 Unless you plan on going on the game show Jeopardy
Tip #4: Because we
know all memories
are flawed, note
taking is critical for
success in this
class.
Tip #5: Own

the bell rings.
2.
Participate to the best of our
abilities -taking notes, working in
small groups, thinking critically
and sharing our thoughts aloud.
3.
We will get our work done in class,
not waste time and respect
everyone’s right to learn and
improve our skills.
4.
“Begin with the end in mind”, have
class goals and targets and ALL of
us will reach these by the end of

Crime Riddle
A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the
police.
The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.
The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?
It was the Maid.
She said she was getting the mail. There is no mail on Sunday!
(Next day air and email doesn't count)
Crime Riddle
A man walks into his bathroom and shoots himself right between the eyes using a
real gun with real bullets. He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere.
And no, he didn't miss and he wasn't Superman or any other caped crusader.
How did he do this?
He shot his reflection in the bathroom mirror.
Crime Riddle
A cop was walking past a restaurant when he heard someone scream - "No John, not
the gun!"
He ran inside and saw a doctor, a lawyer, a milkman, and a dead body on the floor.
He promptly walked over to the milkman and arrested him.
He didn't witness the shooting and there was no apparent evidence to prove who shot
the person and no one told him who the killer was.
How did the policeman instantly know it was the milkman?
The milkman was the only male.
The doctor and lawyer were females, so the cop knew that
John was the milkman.
Crime Riddle
A woman with no driver's license goes the wrong way on a one-way street and
turns left at a corner with a no left turn sign.
A policeman sees her but does nothing. Why?
The woman is a pedestrian or bicyclist.
