Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much can be done. Our best option seems to be acknowledging how fallible memory is and changing how we rely on it, especially in criminal cases like Ramona v. Isabella.
The thing is though, if people decide that memory is fallible in witness testimony, that will bring a lot of evidence into question and make it much harder for people to be believed. It's difficult enough for rape victims in particular to sometimes get people to believe them. It could be even harder if people can claim they might be suffering from memory blindness. I'm really enjoying your topics. I hope you post more of them. Thanks for posting the ones you already have.
