police shoot outs, and a truth revealing video.

one of the things have found out about our criminal justice system is it is not a search for the truth, and that is very sad.
however, to answer your question. when i do my investigation i do note all of my witnesses and there testimony. when i find differences in the stories i then have to find out why. there can be several different reason. i would say on most of the cases i work the reason there is a difference of opinion is due to the fact one person is not being truthful. however there are other circumstance that must be considered like you stated. Bad fields of view, age , lighting and then there is the simple fact that each of us perceive things differently. i try to take in to account and many things as i possibly can to help me and the A. D. A. prosecute the case
, for the most part im putting together the case for the A.D.A. and if i do a bad job hit harder on him or her.
