Passage Three
段落三
Bernard Jackson is a free man today, but he has many bitter memories.
今天伯納德·杰克遜是一個自由人，但是他有許多痛苦的回憶。
Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted him of raping two women.
杰克遜在監獄待了5年，由于陪審團錯誤的指控他強奸兩名女士。
At Jackson's trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of the crimes, he was convicted anyway.
在杰克遜的審訊中，盡管兩名證人證明杰克遜當時與他們在別的地方，但是他仍然被控有罪。
Why? The jury believed the testimony of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who has attacked them.
為什么？陪審團相信兩名證人的證詞，她們認定杰克遜就是襲擊她們的男人。
The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes. Jackson was similar in appearance to the guilty man.
法院最終在警方找到真正的罪犯之后釋放了杰克遜。杰克遜和罪犯長得很像。
The two women has made a mistake in identity. As a result, Jackson has lost five years of his life.
兩名女士錯誤的指認了他。結果，杰克遜在監獄中度過了5年。
The two women in this case were eyewitnesses. They clearly saw the man who attacked them, yet they mistakenly identified an innocent person.
這個案子中的兩名女士是目擊者。她們清楚的看到了襲擊她們的男人，然而卻錯誤的指控了一個無辜者。
Similar incidents have occurred before. Eyewitnesses to other crimes have identified the wrong person in a police lineup or in photographs. Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony.
同樣的事件以前也發生過。其它犯罪事件的目擊者在警方列隊辨認嫌疑犯或照片辨認時錯指他人。許多因素影響目擊者證詞的準確性。
For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs or similar faces.
例如，證人在辨認列隊的嫌疑犯之前先看了幾個嫌疑犯的照片，他們因為看了許多照片或相同面孔而產生混淆。
The number of people in the lineup, and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph, may also affect a witness's decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races.
列隊的嫌疑犯數量或照片都可以影響證人的選擇。人們有時很難指認其他種族的人。
The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
警方的問題也會對證人產生影響。
