And while I don't remember that, well, there's another person that watched it as well.
And clearly there was a punch.
So now all of a sudden that becomes part of my memory as well.
We do remember details that are right, because otherwise we wouldn't be able to function, right?
And our life would be a lie.
So we're still good at remembering certain things, but it is a lot of surrounding details that might not be necessarily detrimental to anything in our daily life if we think back about our childhoods.
But when it comes to crimes, then it becomes very important which ones of these details we've actually experienced and which ones we've
gotten or reconstructed, so to say, because that can be the difference between a wrongful conviction or a rightful conviction.
It can be accusing somebody of something they didn't do, or it become a miscarriage of justice.
When it comes to a legal system, how a memory works can be quite damaging for a justice system and for the integrity of a justice system.
