The question remains as to which version in more believable.

Yes, that is the question. I tend to have to reflect on something from my memory for a while before it all comes back. At least I think that's what's happening. But perhaps it's not. We can't know for sure.

I have had too many experiences where, for example, someone at the office asked me a question about an issue and my first reaction is that I never heard of it, but it turns out that I was very involved in it to the point of having reports on the subject with my signature. After a while it all comes back, or so it seems, but my first reaction is to draw a blank.

We need to learn from these incidents and be a bit humble about what we "know" at least as it pertains to taking actions that affect others.

A classic way of impeaching a witness is to confront them with their version of an event when they were first interviewed, compared to their testimony months later at a trial.

This only happens with incompetent trial counsel. Preparation of witnesses for trial requires a review of previous statements.

justice delayed, justice denied.

A living example of all of this is the testimony in the Skakel trial, the Martha Moxley case. I think Skakel will get another OJ verdict, even though I imagine he really did do it.
