    No one has commented here ? Perhaps a bank robbery is not big news in this town any more. I am commenting because I have read in the newspaper and here, that the robber wore a sweat shirt with a hood and ski goggles. Then there has been a sketched picture of his face released, in hope that someone will recognize the man, and call police. This is a reckless attempt to find the robber. Does any police detective understand that eye witness testimony is one of the most unreliable forms of evidence ? This is an example why. The sketch must have been drawn hours later, and drawn from a person speaking to the teller that could not have gotten a good look at the robber’s face. With ambition to catch the robber, the police now release the sketch, expecting us to respond. Perhaps this is why innocent people are often accused of committing crimes in our country.
