I completely and 100 percent agree with everything that the article says and its deeper meaning.   Personally, I have always thought to myself while watching “Law and Order”, what would happen if someone during the eyewitness accounts really didn’t know who the culprit was.   If he or she made a mistake in choosing who did the crime.   At this point these people could be sending innocent people into jail for a crime that they did not commit or might have not even been there.
