Not only couldn't she pick anyone out of the previous line-ups but she said she was only 70% sure Reade was there. Then a few weeks later she ID's him with 100% certainty as one of the attackers.

The literature on false memory is clear: repetition of photos along with suggestion results in false memories. Some people are very vulnerable to false memories.

All the defense has to do to get the "100% certainty" thrown out is to bring in a false memory/false id expert, e.g., Wells or Loftus.

Actually ALL of her testimony about her attackers is tainted by the repetition of the photos.

I think Precious's testimony has a lot more to do with flat out lying than false memories.

Like people with histories of drug and alcohol abuse. Like people that have been admitted to Psych Wards in the past?
