Defenders facing identification testimony from a single eyewitness or suggestive procedure.

Daubert / Reliability Challenge — Eyewitness Identification

FRE 702 + jury-instruction motion to challenge suggestive eyewitness ID procedures. NAS 2014 grounded.

Move for an expert-witness instruction or pre-trial reliability hearing citing NAS 2014. Cross-exam targets the specific procedure (lineup, photo array, show-up) used in this case against the NAS-recommended best practices.

“According to the Innocence Project, at least one mistaken eyewitness identification was present in almost three-quarters of DNA exonerations.”

What this template gives you that the discipline-specific treatise does not.
  1. 01.

    Mistaken eyewitness ID is the leading contributing factor in DNA-exoneration cases tracked by the Innocence Project.

  2. 02.

    Many jurisdictions still permit single-witness identifications without pre-trial reliability hearings.

  3. 03.

    NAS 2014 recommends sequential lineups, double-blind administration, immediate confidence statements — non-compliance is cross-exam fuel.

Frequently asked questions.

What does the brief contain?

Seven sections: cover (your case identifier + jurisdiction stamped on), reliability standard recap (Daubert v. Merrell Dow factors), the lead authority's verbatim finding with source URL, the cumulative-error history with cited exonerations / IG audits / appellate opinions, recommended FRE 702 motion language (~250 words editable), a 10-15 question cross-examination question bank, and the methods + source URLs bibliography.

Is this legal advice?

No. The template is a research artifact modeled on the published critique literature for this discipline. Counsel of record adapts the motion language to the controlling circuit's FRE 702 doctrine and the facts of the case before filing.

How fast is delivery?

Stripe checkout completes in seconds; the PDF is emailed to the address you provide. Templates are pre-built — there is no per-case data pipeline running.

Do you cite anything I cannot independently verify?

No. Every citation in every brief carries a source URL stored alongside. Lead authorities are PCAST 2016, NAS 2009 / 2014, NRC 1979 / 2003, FBI/DOJ 2015. All are public-domain and linked to their original publication pages.

Refund policy?

7-day full refund, no questions asked.
