They will be under oath.

Exactly. LE didn’t waltz by numerous frame-worthy POIs just to nab the little guy from CVS.
There are some who believe that all of this was "lost".
As far as I know that hasn’t even been claimed by the defence. The claim was only about video recordings, not the written statements.
It doesn’t make them a bad witness at all, but the issue of their recollections being adopted from what the others said about what they saw is actually quite high and can really affect the reliability of what they saw as individuals and as a group - especially if they talk among themselves before giving a statement to police.
Well, it’s not quite as simple as this and I hope the D will point out any issues they may find with how the witnesses concluded that RA specifically was the man they saw. Eg: did Le show the kids a photo line up with many photos at once on a grid and ask them to point to who they saw? If so, the police may have influenced the witnesses to pick someone On the grid, even if the person they saw wasn’t in the photos. There may have been many issues with their selecting someone from a lineup. You can read more about them here: Eyewitness Misidentification - Innocence Project.I would expect the witnesses will be asked if this is the man they encountered on the trail. If yes, then they saw BG, who ordered the girls down the hill to be murdered. The prosecution then needs to prove BARD to the jury that RA=BG.
Do that successfully, and there will be a conviction.

Who would have been in the photos in a proposed lineup? There wasn’t a human suspect to compare to. Only a photo and the witnesses recollection.Well, it’s not quite as simple as this and I hope the D will point out any issues they may find with how the witnesses concluded that RA specifically was the man they saw.

I am afraid witness statements and lineups aren’t as reliable as many people think.
There was once even a case where dna nabbed the wrong suspect!!

People most definitely have suggested a frame. Thread #183 for reference. There are others too.
Agree. The sheer amount of work for multiple law enforcement agencies to get on the same page, for many layers of law enforcement personnel to willingly destroy or “lose” evidence, for witnesses to change testimony, for forensics experts to give improper assessments, for the judge handling the case (who was independently appointed by SCOIN) to be somehow specifically corrupt towards this case, all so they can hang a random CVS manager out to dry is… even more far-fetched than Odinists having sacrificed the girls, I’d say.
