Eye witness accounts are useful way to get evidence in a legal case or to report something like someone claiming to see something out of the ordinary, such as Bigfoot.
BUT an eyewitness is not the best way to get evidence in a case. First, the eyewitness could lie or exaggerate the truth. This wouldn't happen often in a court case, but it can happen. Second, studies have shown that eyewitnesses often make mistakes, even when they sincerely believe the account they've given or believe a certain suspect is the right one.
In an investigation people don't stop at an eyewitness account. Investigators then use the information that the eyewitness gave to search for more clues to what might have happened.
