A classic case of misattribution involves Australian eyewitness expert Donald Thomson. He was arrested and identified by a rape victim from a police lineup. The accusation was made despite Thomson having a solid alibi: at the time of the crime, he was on a live television program discussing the unreliability of eyewitness memory, in the company of an assistant police commissioner. Investigators later confirmed that the victim was attacked while watching the very program Thomson was on. She had misattributed her memory of Thomson's face from the television to the face of her rapist, leading to his wrongful accusation before he was eventually cleared.
