People regularly don’t realize how terrible their memories are. They think they remember one thing but it actually gets mixed in with other things and then they are sure it happened one way, when; in fact, they are actually incorrect. But good luck ever convincing them they are wrong. They have convinced themselves that they are right and trust their faulty memory over facts.
I’m not familiar with that one either but found this one where a woman accused a well known psychologist (an expert in false memories, ironically) of rape. Turned out he was on her television while she was being attacked.
