Weapon focus
Weapon focus is a factor affecting the reliability of eyewitness testimony. Weapon focus signifies a witness to a crime diverting their attention to the weapon the criminal is holding, thus leaving less attention for other details in the scene and leading to memory impairments later for those other details.
