Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas A. Balmer, center, questions an attorney, feb. 15, 2014, during arguments heard at the University of Oregon School of Law in Eugene, Ore. He is flanked by Justices Rives Kistler and Martha Walters. The seven-member court heard arguments in two cases with students; State v. Hickman and Doyle v. City of Medford. The justices herd arguments that could reverse Jerrin Lavazie Hickman’s murder conviction based on two in-court witness identifications at his trial. After decades of evidence to the contrary, state courts, legislatures and police agencies are considering a fundamental shift in their treatment of testimony from eyewitnesses and the procedures used to prep those witnesses before trial.
