95. Quality of witness
LG is your "star witness" upon whom this part of your case is based. In your previous post you said that "her memory mixes up the moment." Do I really need to continue? Given that we've established that her account is not consistent with the facts, should we regard it as 100% reliable? No, we should not.

You say that Longman's account is "very accurate". How do you know? Have you listened to the tape? I think that Longman's account (note: I haven't read the book yet, so this is only an initial impression) is a second-hand one based on testimony of an emotionally-disturbed witness, who, as you have admitted, didn't always remember the details right. Further, I suspect that he was embellishing it to make it more dramatic.
