Which includes the Duke Lacrosse players -- who were actually innocent.
I read the (long!) New Yorker article and I was left with three impressions: psychologists and their families are really weird people, I don't like her as a person, and she is right that memories aren't very reliable.

She did say she takes every case (although she drew the line at a Nazi). Memory is unreliable, but it’s tough to argue that was the issue in the lacrosse case.
Leveraging that against a person who is risking everything to get justice against a person in power is a lot to put on them. Preventing that pressure opens up a way for manipulators to get through. Gödel probably has something to say about all that.
As an aside it’s interesting that in specific comments referencing the recent Altman events I have been repeatedly downvoted to -3.
