"I found the guy"

from True Crime False Memory · host Dr. Mitchell Eisen

An armed robbery in a Bodega in Los Angeles leads the police and witnesses to search the area for the culprit. Learn how this search took an odd turn as one of the witnesses decided she ‘found the guy’, setting in motion a series of events that lead Mr. Norris to be falsely identified by three separate witnesses. How is that possible? How can three different people all make the same mistake? The science of eyewitness memory is used to explain how this series of events lead to this egregious error and how this played out at trial.
