What happens when a criminal case is built not on physical evidence — but on memory?
In this episode of Profiler Africa, co-hosts Paul Llewellyn and forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne examine recovered memories and their use in criminal prosecutions.
The discussion explores how memory functions, why it is inherently unreliable, and how therapy — when poorly conducted — can unintentionally create false or contaminated memories. Drawing on South African case experience and international forensic standards, the episode explains why recovered memories are treated with caution in many courts — and what happens when that caution is ignored.
This episode is not about disbelief.
It is about evidence, due process, and preventing injustice on all sides.
