Explanation:

Eyewitnesses may present their information in a sense of bias as they refuse to believe that what they saw was incorrect. Additionally, there may be emotional or other senses of bias connected with testimonies. One may remember an incident in which one person was more annoying and recalls an event where they were acting as such. It also may be an issue of pride as one does not like to admit that they are wrong. Jurors should consider eyewitness testimonies carefully during a trial as they do not know the level of bias they may contain or how accurate they may be. They were all confident in their retellings. The roommate experiment and the murder mystery experiment were similar in the sense of both had distorted eyewitness testimonies.
