Answer:

Explanation:

In the study conducted by Elizabeth Loftus and her partner Palmer to examine the reliability of eyewitnesses using the question, "how accurate are the recollections of eyewitnesses?"

According to Loftus, the study of eyewitness is very important because as our ability to recall things decline with age. This what we can recall becomes less reliable as we age so when we witness a crime or accident we have to recall and sometimes the recall might not be precise. She stated that "It is clearly of concern to the law, to police and insurance investigators, and to others to know something about the completeness, accuracy, and malleability of such memories." Not all eyewitness testimonies can be taken into account because not all of them can recall things accurately at 100%.

Yes, The Loftus studies support the use of eyewitness testimony as evidence in court proceedings.

The credibility of the eyewitness will also be ascertained and he/she will be cross examined to try to detect lies and discrepancies in his report especially for criminal law, where there are multiple different types of conditions that will cancel the elements of a crime, which can also be known as defenses.

From her quote, you can see that she supports the use of testimonies from Eyewitness.
