I thought it might be good to share a few things about investigations, something I’ve done and trained others on in my professional career for over 30 years. This is as good a thread as any to post it since it applies to some of the recent discussions.
First, as investigators we have to beware of a variety of biases that can negatively impact our ability to reason logically and think critically.
Second, we have to recognize that human memory is fallible, and even the most well-intentioned witness might not provide accurate testimony. (Not to mention those who intentionally provide false testimony for a variety of reasons.)
