Witness Evidence

[Thumpalumpacus]

Thank you for the replies, and particularly to the reasons I gave.   I will try to get to some in more detail tomorrow.  But I do have one question. 

I am aware of many of the studies you cited, and do not come to the same conclusion that witness testimony is unreliable. 

And you're qualified exactly how?

You're entitled to your own beliefs, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

Me, I'll take good studies over some guy on the Net. Thanks for offering your opinion.

But I do have a question for you.   Do you live believing that most of your memories of your life are largely inaccurate and unreliable to the truth?  I think we can all point to areas where we where mistaken in memory or we remember something differently from someone else.  But do you think that your picture of yourself is for the most part accurate?

For the most part, yes. But thanks to a life lived a little wildly when I was younger, I know better than to trust it completely.
