Eyewitnesses are an important part of every court case. They help solidify or discredit any evidence in the cases, but not every eyewitness can be trusted. When events take place, our brains suck up the information "like a vacuum" and that information gets stored in different parts of our brains. But when it is time to piece together those events, because we don't have all of the information in one section of our brain, that information becomes subject to other things that are stored in our brains. This is called reconstructed memories, and it is quite common even if we don't notice it. In the play 12 Angry Men, two witnesses claim that the defendant is responsible for the murder of the defendant's father, which are later proved to be untrue. A number of things could of caused their wrong statements, one very big possibility is reconstructed memories. The woman said she saw the murder happen from across the street, but most likely, after knowing the facts of the case and where it took place, she created a scenario in her head that ultimately framed the defendant. And the old man said he heard the murder take place from his home, but he most likely created a scenario that was based off his own opinions of the case and his brain tricked him into believing that fiction was actually fact. Though reconstructed memories are out of our control, we still have to be careful about the way we see things, as seeing is not always factual.
