One of the main causes of wrongful convictions is eyewitness misidentifications. Investigators follow specific guidelines when they are conducting their investigation. However, this does not eliminate human error. Research a case where an eyewitness’ identification led to a suspect(s) wrongful conviction. Describe the specifics of the case and the steps the defense team took to have them freed.
