Passage Three
段落三
Bernard Jackson is a free man today, but he has many bitter memories.
今天伯纳德·杰克逊是一个自由人，但是他有许多痛苦的回忆。
Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted him of raping two women.
杰克逊在监狱待了5年，由于陪审团错误的指控他强奸两名女士。
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.
在杰克逊的审讯中，尽管两名证人证明杰克逊当时与他们在别的地方，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.
为什么？陪审团相信两名证人的证词，她们认定杰克逊就是袭击她们的男人。
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.
法院最终在警方找到真正的罪犯之后释放了杰克逊。杰克逊和罪犯长得很像。
The two women has made a mistake in identity. As a result, Jackson has lost five years of his life.
两名女士错误的指认了他。结果，杰克逊在监狱中度过了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.
这个案子中的两名女士是目击者。她们清楚的看到了袭击她们的男人，然而却错误的指控了一个无辜者。
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.
同样的事件以前也发生过。其它犯罪事件的目击者在警方列队辨认嫌疑犯或照片辨认时错指他人。许多因素影响目击者证词的准确性。
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，证人在辨认列队的嫌疑犯之前先看了几个嫌疑犯的照片，他们因为看了许多照片或相同面孔而产生混淆。
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.
列队的嫌疑犯数量或照片都可以影响证人的选择。人们有时很难指认其他种族的人。
The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
警方的问题也会对证人产生影响。
