    I do not believe that eyewitness testimony should be given equal weight with other pieces of evidence in a court trial. Eyewitness testimony refers to a type of evidence that comes from the statements of people who were present at the time of the crime/event. While I believe that this can be useful during a trial, I do not believe it should be trusted implicitly. Even when an eyewitness is honest, it is impossible to know whether his interpretation of an event is the right one. Moreover, his skills when it comes to sight, hearing, etc. are limited and subject to confusion and misunderstandings. Finally, there is also the possibility of bias or dishonesty.
