it would help if the article put them next to each other. Then yea i think it's definitely apparent they are different people: https://imgur.com/a/zJJNSFG

I would hope police are better at this sort of thing then me.

Also i would hope better quality images would be used, these are terrible quality.

if you look at the facial structure, they're completely different people. I don't understand how somebody would mix them up...

Nearly every feature of the face is different. Is there someone who works in AI imaging that can answer: 1. How this could happen 2. Why it's gone unsolved 3. Why this kind of tech is even attractive?

Yeah. For one thing, the actual suspect's face is much wider than the man who was falsely accused. And that's just at a glance. I'm sure there are multiple other points of difference.
