More to the point, how are you able to judge someone a liar or a madman that you have never met. Every complaint about these cases comes down to impugning the character or sanity of the eyewitness. Every time. No exceptions. As if the world is full of lying assholes and nutjobs. That's a conveniently cynical worldview in my opinion, and one hard to live by. Most the people in the world based on my experience are reliable truth tellers and sane, at least until proven otherwise. That's the default assumption of everyday social existence. That's how we live our lives. The rules don't suddenly change when something incredible happens to someone.
