First Hand

Really interesting piece on the validity of eyewitness testimony - how during moments of intense stress the mind doesn't act like a video recorder, it behaves much differently and visual recognition of the criminal can be influenced quite dramatically by suggestion. This piece also doubles as an incredible story of mercy and grace, as a woman learns that the man she accused of rape was innocent (she fingered him based on flawed line-up techniques), DNA evidence clears him after 11 years in jail, and they meet together to reconcile. Chill factor = 10
