درباره این اپیزود
You wake up to police at your door with a warrant for a crime you didn't commit. It happens more than people think, and it usually starts with a mistaken identification.
In this episode of Now We Defend, T.L., Tim, and Justin break down everything that goes into an identity defense. As former prosecutors, they've built these cases from both sides, and they walk through how eyewitness identifications fall apart, how police lineups are built (and challenged), and how modern evidence like cell phone data, social media, DNA, and AI facial recognition is changing how identity gets proven (or disproven) in court.
Topics covered: eyewitness misidentification, live and photo lineups, confirmation bias, cross-examination strategy, lighting and distance factors, stress and the weapon focus effect, disguises and appearance changes, cross-racial identification, sketch artists, surveillance camera evidence, cell phone tower pings and geofencing, social media and metadata, AI facial recognition, DNA and fingerprint evidence, and alibi defenses.
Kearney Law defends clients across York, Adams, Lancaster, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, and the surrounding Central Pennsylvania counties.
