ABSTRACT

Berkowitz et al. (Berkowitz, S. R., Garrett, B. L., Fenn, K. M., & Loftus, E. F. (2020). Convicting with confidence? Why we should not over-rely on eyewitness confidence. Memory. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2020.1849308) attribute to us the claim that “confidence trumps all”, and the few out-of-context quotations they selected can certainly be used to create that false impression. However, it is easily disproved, and we do so here. The notion that “confidence trumps all” is the mistake that the jurors made in the DNA exoneration cases, not a position that we have ever advocated.

伯科维茨等人。（Berkowitz, SR, Garrett, BL, Fenn, KM, & Loftus, EF (2020)。自信地定罪？为什么我们不应该过度依赖目击者的信心。记忆。https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2020。 1849308）将“信心胜过一切”的说法归功于我们，他们选择的少数断章取义的引文当然可以用来制造这种错误印象。但是，它很容易被证伪，我们在这里这样做。“信心胜过一切”的概念是陪审员在 DNA 无罪案件中犯的错误，而不是我们曾经倡导的立场。
