Were told injuries are only minor but this morning we wanna share with you a stunning local case that will make you scratch your head and wonder if what you just. Was real. Even more, it also illuminates what prosecutors say is real a problem. Eyewitness accounts. They say they are so unreliable they may just be the worst kind of evidence. This is the bank robber. In 2010 he held up a trstate bank and the Surveillance Video hit probably every newscast in cincinnati that day. And we put out a crimestoppers tip and we got about 5 or 6, 7 phone calls, i know that guy, he lives on this street, he lives in this particular house. Prosecutor, joe deters, says people were convinced they knew this guy. They pointed at the same guy, the same house. They were sure it was this man. And when detectives went to that particular house, knocked on the door, and his mom answered it, and she said, i know why youre here. I just saw on television my son robbing a bank. Bank. This is that womans son. Take a look. He looks incredibly like the guy in the Surveillance Video. Police took the son, whose identity we were not given, into custody. Then, they got a call from a woman who said this was the wrong guy. That it was her boyfriend who robbed the bank. And this is her boyfriend, conrad zkzierak. The accused was african american. The actual as could be. He had bought a theatrical mask from beverly hills, which cost a few thousand dollars, and its very life like, as you know, and he had it on. And it looks like the guy they called crimestoppers about. Tanya i mean, his mom. Deters his mother said it. Tanya he did it. Deters he did it. It. It looked just like her son. Son. Sunglasses covered zkzieraks blue eyes. Gloves covered his hands. That just tells you, dont believe what you see all the time because you could be dead wrong. Wrong. Joe deters says ever since he released from prison this man who was wrongly imprisoned in 1982 for rape based on one persons identification of him, he wont take one persons so called word for it. it. you cant rely solely on identification. You just cant do that. Its a recipe for some kind of disaster and i think a disaster is an innocent person in prison. Prison. In fact he says eyewitness accounts are the worst kind of evidence. Evidence. I would consider identification one piece of evidence that you can use. It should never be the only piece of evidence. Evidence. Conrad zkzierak will be in prison for that robbery and others until 2035. Ohio is gettimg some big help from home owners at risk of foreclosure. Foreclosure.
