One reason I despise the fact that the judge ruled out any "memory expert" testimony is that I know that my brain functions much like what has been attributed to Scooter Libby. It is a REAL FACT for people like me that Scooter's testimony could well be mixed up by trying to attach a name (i.e., Russert) to statements that are recalled very accurately but maybe someone else said them so many months ago. I generally have great recall for ideas and arguments, and exact quotations in relation to those ideas. However, I very frequently have no recollection of specific people in relation to those ideas and arguments and quotes. In other words, I understand exactly how Scooter got into this predicament because I do the same thing all the time (fortunately not with any legal jeopardy!). When I used to work in a very busy office, I frequently got mixed up about WHO said WHAT (even though I had very detailed recall of much or all that was said, by SOMEONE. If you asked me questions about work conversations held several months or years ago, I could provide all sorts of detail about them but would get mixed up on WHO said what. In fact, this just happened to me today (fortunately on a trivial matter).
