Question

Should eyewitness testimony be allowed in the courtroom? Write at least three paragraphs discussing your position.

Answer 1

(Paragraph 1) Should eyewitness testimony be allowed in the courtroom? No but at the same time yes. There are many reasons why they should but shouldn't. It is a risk to their safety, some eyewitnesses are not liable, they could be paid off but at the same time their testimony could help win a case. (Paragraph 2) Depending on a crime, the eyewitness safety could be in danger. If the case was against a member of a gang or mafia. They could send someone after that witness. This is reason why we have the Witness Protection Program. If they testify they put their lives at risk. (Paragraph 3) Having a witness is a key thing to have. If you have a witness you are the one who most likely the one to win the case. In some cases you could have problems with the witness not being liable, getting paid off to not say anything or to lie. Or in most cases if they are confused they will not have them testify. Or they aren't straight on the details and keep changing the story that usually means they are lying on what they saw.
