Some researchers claim that more innocent individuals have been wrongly convicted due to inaccuracy of eyewitness testimony is common than all other causes combined.

  • Eyewitness testimony is a word used in law. It alludes to a description provided by individuals about an occasion they were present for. For instance, they can be asked to describe a crime or a car accident they saw during a trial. This includes information about the crime scene, the offenders' identities, etc.
  • Studies have indicated that roughly half of all wrongful convictions are caused by false eyewitness testimony. When Ohio State University researchers looked at hundreds of false convictions, they found that about 52 percent of the errors were due to inaccuracies made by eyewitnesses.

A speech community is a group of people who speak the same language
horrorfan [7]
A speech community is a group of people who share a set of linguistic norms and expectations regarding the use of language.[1]

Exactly how to define speech community is debated in the literature. Definitions of speech community tend to involve varying degrees of emphasis on the following:

Shared community membershipShared linguistic communication

Early definitions have tended to see speech communities as bounded and localized groups of people who live together and come to share the same linguistic norms because they belong to the same local community. It has also been assumed that within a community a homogeneous set of normsshould exist. These assumptions have been challenged by later scholarship that has demonstrated that individuals generally participate in various speech communities simultaneously and at different times in their lives. Each speech community has different norms that they tend to share only partially. Communities may be de-localized and unbounded rather than local, and they often comprise different sub-communities with differing speech norms. With the recognition of the fact that speakers actively use language to construct and manipulate social identities by signalling membership in particular speech communities, the idea of the bounded speech community with homogeneous speech norms has become largely abandoned for a model based on the speech community as a fluid community of practice.

A speech community comes to share a specific set of norms for language use through living and interacting together, and speech communities may therefore emerge among all groups that interact frequently and share certain norms and ideologies. Such groups can be villages, countries, political or professional communities, communities with shared interests, hobbies, or lifestyles, or even just groups of friends. Speech communities may share both particular sets of vocabulary and grammatical conventions, as well as speech styles and genres, and also norms for how and when to speak in particular ways.

She has been through a lot and learned a lot and had some time to study though life experiences, which gives her a good base and potential advantage over the other students. Having a car isn't that much of an advantage, and the other two options are disadvantages.
