The subjects were randomly assigned to receive a case in which an eyewitness could identify the defendant as the criminal, could testify that the defendant was not the criminal, or could not tell whether or not the defendant was the criminal. As expected, the identification condition prompted defense attorneys to seek a plea bargain and prosecutors to avoid a plea bargain. However, similar to findings with jurors, both prosecutors and defense attorneys underutilized the nonidentification information in making their plea bargain decisions. The findings indicate that prosecution underutilization of eyewitness nonidentification is mediated by predictions of juror reaction to the evidence. 2 tables and 12 references (Author abstract modified)
