She shares two projects: one documents otherworldly locations typically kept secret from the public, the other involves haunting portraits of men convicted for crimes they did not commit.

The saying is “a picture is worth a thousand words” but the pictures don’t have any power if you have to explain them all.

so your sense of aesthetics has been corrupted? indoctrinated to the point that orthodoxy governs your appreciation?

Which proves that honesty is a function of character and not age. There are liars of every age. You cannot blame the lie on the age of the liar.

Does anyone know how to spell the name of that American funded news channel that broadcasts to 22 countries in the Arab world? Al-hora?

I know many children that will lie through their teeth and claim they are telling the absolute truth.
I know many adults that are more honest than children.

Eyewitness …
Eyewitness testimony, regardless of age, is unreliable. You never remember things the way they happened ESPECIALLY in a stressful situation because adrenaline distorts your memory. Just because you saw it doesn’t mean it happened.

It really depends on the child. While I wouldn’t let an 11 yr old drive, I would take his/her word. I know many children that are more honest than adults.
Eye witness testimony is notoriously unreliable regardless of the age of the person testifying. You can’t blame the age of the child.

No implication at …
No implication at all, it’s a fact: children often cannot tell the difference between reality and dreams, and we take their tesitmony in a court of law? So you are implying that a person can give testimony without accountability?
I don’t think a child should be treated as an adult if they kill someone, nor do I think they should be taken as an adult in a court of law.
