Dr. Loftus has been studying what she calls the “’misinformation effect’” for several decades. Over the years she has discovered in her studies that when people witnessed an event and were later given misleading information or asked leading questions about
Little did he know that standing up for what he believed in was going to possibly get him killed. Just days after the picture appeared, the government arrested him. Taking him into a prison for intelligence, he was in solitary confinement for months. After seven or eight months he had a court trial and they didn’t tell him where he was going.
