an eyewitness claims that she saw, from her peripheral vision, someone in a green striped shirt stealing a car at night. on this particular night, it was very dark, and the streetlights were not lit. why might her testimony be unreliable?

Answer:

Her testimony is not reliable because she saw the thief from her peripheral vision and it could have just been a night animal. On top of that it was also dark and it could have just been a shadow. Overall there are many possibilities that what she saw isn't what she thought she saw.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dark is dark and in the dark, some things look like other things so you know bro.
