Witness misidentification is the leading cause of wrongful convictions in the United States. Among former deathrow inmates proven innocent by posttrial DNA evidence, more than half of their cases involved a mistaken eyewitness identification. And the problem is not limited to deathrow inmates: a comprehensive 2012 study by Marvin Zalman, a professor of criminal procedure, concludes that up to 2,000 individuals are wrongfully convicted of felonies each year. Combating witness misidentification is perhaps the biggest step we can take to fight his injustice. This book discusses the problems of witness identification, shows how identification procedures contribute to faulty convictions, and suggests reforms that would drastically reduce the potential for misidentification. Aaron Spolin is an awardwinning criminal appeals attorney and former prosecutor. He leads Spolin Law P.C., a firm that handles criminal appeals, writs, and postconviction relief.
