Exceptions obviously for misremembering (it happens) but people like that lady who know they saw nothing and even had it proven to them still sticking to their guns and the other 'witnesses' should have trials and be put in for life when found guilty.

    EDIT: To clarify for those who have responded, I mean people who INTENTIONALLY lie for the sake of money, attention, etc. about being a witness deserve to be punished. People who lie with the intent to ruin or harm someone in a court of law deserve to be punished. I’m sure there are laws that punish these people, I don’t know them specifically though. And if there are laws, they don’t get enforced enough OR they’re hard to prove. I understand this. If someone has lied unintentionally, because their memory is just wrong or they truly believe what they’re saying, I don’t think they should be punished- they’re innocent as well, just mistaken. I know people lie due to be coerced by police to just get the case closed, and in that situation it should be the police who face the consequences. Now that I’ve said this, please rethink your response to my comment. Y’all have been blowing up my notifications and I get the point by now lol.

      I think that witness testimonies shouldn’t be admissible as evidence by itself. Witnesses should be used to support evidence such as “John shot and killed a man and left the gun at the scene of the crime. The gun is registered in his name, his fingerprints are on the gun, AND a neighbor saw the whole incident.” Anything else and you end up just leveraging witness testimony against witness testimony.

      NO it's not. Once you are assumed guilty, the burden of proof is on the prosecution to provide evidence, sometimes that evidence is only a so called 'witness' (who COULD be lying). But it works like this (for an example)
      Hypothetically lets say, IF you are suspected of a crime, and enough evidence can be found/created/presented to arrest you (could be a witness on the spot), you are taken to jail to wait for a hearing. The taking to jail part is your fist clue you are guilty and must prove your innocents. Now they give you the information that they have that they are using to PROVE your guilt so YOU can PROVE it's not true in order to get out of jail. So, in actuality you must prove your innocence before you can be released.
      .. I want to add a couple of things I use to work on some years back.. to entertain one's thoughts.
      #1 is your Miranda Rights. I have asked many people including police officers if they "know" what their Miranda Rights mean. I had an officer of 12 years who was in trouble call me, I asked him the question during our conversation. Funny, but neither him nor any could answer, all they could do is recite them.
      they mean: You have the right to remain silent BECAUSE everything you say WILL be cut up and used against you in a court of law! Anything you SAY that they can use against you they will, anything you say that can be used as a defense is for your attorney to defend. And there were examples I used. If you had a court hearing on Monday at 8am but got into an accident on the way and was rushed to the hospital, then explained later to people of substance, "I was unable to make it because ..." the petitioning party will only tell the Judge "You said you were UNABLE to make it".. the rest is your defense. So the Judge is deceived. It would also be your job to notify the Judge they intentionally deceived the judge and then prove that.
      #2 NEVER EVER PLEAD "NO CONTEST". No Contest not a plead that can be appealed without EXTREME circumstances and you have 30 days to prove and 'request' an appeal, so.. a No contest plead is explained that you may NOT ever for any reason except proven extreme circumstances reversible and it IS used as a guilty plea. "Nolo Contendere" which translates as: you do not with to contend or argue against the complaint. In actuality you are stating to the court that you are incompetent (as a 2 year old child) to take a plea on your own, and therefore you are allowing the court to do so for you; which because of your own incompetence you will never appeal, because.. well.. you are incompetent. (that's not exactly what it means, but it is about the equivalence).

      I had CCTV footage that proved my innocence in court and the judge literally said word for word "well seeing this video, *You're clearly telling the truth.* However I'm going to have to take the police officers word for it." Then denied my appeal. And from the very start when I told my public defender I wanted to plead innocent in the Preliminary Hearing, she said, "if you don't plead guilty, *I will not help you.* I have too many cases to take yours to trial." I will never forget these words from the judge and public defenders office. Because after serving my time, I came back home to an eviction notice on my door and someone replaced me in the 1 of my 3 jobs that was paying most of my bills.

If someone is missing any one of those traits or may a Supreme being help them if they're missing more than 1 of those traits, they will be considered guilty until proven innocent.

    I had CCTV footage that proved my innocence in court and the judge literally said word for word, "well seeing this video, *You're clearly telling the truth.* However I'm going to have to take the police officers word for it." And denied my appeal.
    ...From the very start when I told my public defender I wanted to plead innocent in the Preliminary Hearing, she said, "if you don't plead guilty, *I will not help you.* I have too many cases to take yours to trial." I will never forget these words from noth the judge and public defenders office.
    ...After serving my time, I came back home to an eviction notice on my door and someone replaced me in the 1 of my 3 jobs that was paying most of my bills.

    6:49 You’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty If the only evidence used to indicate any guilt is refuted, you should either be exonerated or a new trial granted.
