Witness for the Defense: The Accused, the Eyewitnesses, and the Expert Who Puts Memory on Trial
A favorite Hollywood plot device is that of a person accused of a crime he or she did not commit. All too frequently, however, it becomes a grim reality on the dark side of the American justice system. Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, a psychologist and specialist in the fallibility of eyewitness testimony, is an expert trial witness whose testimony has literally saved the lives of people condemned for crimes they did not commit. 16 pages of photographs.
