With my limited experience in Law Enforcement, I have been taught and have noticed that eyewitness testimony is shaky evidence at best. In this particular situation, I did find Mr. Steven’s testimony to be somewhat helpful to the prosecution. It is my belief that his testimony helped to fill some of the gaps left by the coroner and EMT reports. Without Mr. Stevens testimony, we would not have known that, “Tristan” was somebody who could, “Kick drugs, (oxycodone being one that was readily available to him.)” With the Medical Examiner’s report stating a 40 mg tablet of oxycodone being a substantial factor in causing the death of Riley Thomas, and the EMT’s testimony of what he saw and heard, I believe that Mr. Steven’s testimony helped prove the defendants’ guilt.
