Explanation:

The testimony presented by an eyewitness is unreliable for a number of reasons, a few of which are listed below:

1. The witness may give false details about the incident out of fear or pressure.

2. The witness may misidentify a convict and ruin an innocent person's life by putting them in jail.

3. Events are not stored perfectly in one's memory, as research has shown, making eye witness accounts inaccurate.
