In my lin be of work I am exposed to a lot of information about how how people's memories can be flawed.
Not all witnesses are lying when they don't tell the truth on the stand. Sometimes they are just mistaken. Especially when it come to eye witness identification of an individual. Once a witness has positively identified a person from a photo or lineup then their brain inserts the person identified into the memory. The witness becomes certain of the identification even when it is wrong.
