All of the choices are important for a person who has been falsely accused of a crime due to inaccurate eyewitness testimony. Hesitation during testimony may indicate a lack of confidence in their account. Questioning the police about their identification procedures may reveal flaws in the eyewitness identification process. And closely questioning the eyewitness about any discussions they may have had about the events in question can expose any inconsistencies or false assumptions in their testimony. All three steps can help to demonstrate the unreliability of the eyewitness testimony and increase the chances of a favorable verdict.
