The use of eyewitness testimony during a criminal trial continues to be an important real-world application of research in psychological science. This research in combination with other advancements in science have led to the development of organizations working to free wrongfully convicted and imprisoned individuals in the United States. In many instances the wrongful convictions were dependent upon faulty or erroneous eyewitness testimony. The Innocence Project is one such organization seeking to fulfill this mission. Visit their website at https://www.innocenceproject.org/about/ (Links to an external site.). Take some time and read their list of successful cases where they assisted in freeing wrongfully convicted individuals from prison. Find one that may have relied on faulty eyewitness testimony to secure the wrongful conviction.
