Eyewitness "Experiment" Results:

Well I conducted the eyewitness experiment during fourth period on Friday, and I received mixed results. I used an unsuspecting sophomore from Mr. Wilson's English class and had him steal my water bottle. I regret to report that I wasn't as good of an actor as the law professor in the video we watched in class. Several students also knew the kid and he lingered too long in front of the class, which allowed people to describe his appearance quite easily.

Next year I will plan this activity more in advance and have a possible photo line up ready to go. I will tell you all more about it on Tuesday. Have a great three day weekend!
