    Detroit detectives showed a photo lineup to the carjacking victim, who positively identified Woodruff.

    Note only did facial recognition fail but so did the victim

      Victims misidentifying perpetrators happens all the time. Witness testimony about strangers is extremely unreliable.

        From what I have heard witness testimony in generally is extremely unreliable. Human memory sucks.

          Yep, had some dick try to smash into my house. Got a clear look at him and yelled at him in my angry voice and he fucked off. A month later police called me and asked for specific details about his look. I was like wtf? Maybe ask me when you arrived 5 minutes later and not now. I couldn’t remember shit.
