Answered by admin @ 05/11/2021

Answer:

Eyewitness misidentification

Explanation:

The innocence project is a well established organization in the United States with two major aims:

To exonerate people wrongly convicted for a crime.
To reform the criminal justice system in a manner as to reduce such injustices in the future.

It accomplishes these aims with the use of DNA testing and forensic technology that has advanced significantly over the years.
