Question 13

Morgan is a prosecuting barrister presenting a case against a defendant accused of a high-value art theft. Morgan has secured three key eyewitnesses who spotted the defendant near the gallery's restricted vault at different times on the evening of the crime, as well as a digital forensics expert who analysed the security bypass. Morgan wants to ensure the jury is fully persuaded by this evidence and views the witnesses as highly credible.

Outline one or more strategies from cognitive psychology that a psychologist might suggest for how Morgan can present this evidence to maximize its persuasive impact on the jury.
