    Victims misidentifying perpetrators happens all the time. Witness testimony about strangers is extremely unreliable.

      From what I have heard witness testimony in generally is extremely unreliable. Human memory sucks.

        Yep, had some dick try to smash into my house. Got a clear look at him and yelled at him in my angry voice and he fucked off. A month later police called me and asked for specific details about his look. I was like wtf? Maybe ask me when you arrived 5 minutes later and not now. I couldn’t remember shit.
