What about a situation where immediately after the rape, the police show her a photo of Cole in a photo lineup. Then she sees him again in a lineup at the jail. Then, after saying, I think it's him (because she recognizes his face, maybe from campus), the police make an arrest. Then, the investigator starts talking to her about the case and confirming that they have the right man. Then she repeatedly sees his photo in the news, in the paper, etc. She sees his photo time and time again as the prosecutor prepares the case for trial.
She goes to trial and sees him at the defense table. At the beginning of trial, she sees him referred to as the defendant. The prosecutor, since he has to go first, calls his witnesses, saving her for last. She's waiting outside in the hall next to other officers and detectives who are about to go up and present their evidence linking the defendant to the offense.
She finally gets up to take the stand and once again, sees the defendant at the defense table. The prosecutor goes through her day, detail by detail, ending with the rape. As she goes through each detail, she's looking at the jury but still sees the defendant, in her periphery, sitting at the defense table.
The prosecutor then asks her to identify her attacker and she looks over to the defense table and sees this man, this face that she's now seen dozens, if not hundreds, of times in photos, in person, on TV, in court and in her mind. She points to the defendant. The prosecutor asks her, "Ms. _______ how certain are you that the attacker that night was Mr. __________?" and again, she has all of these instances to where she's seen this face to draw from and she responds "I'm absolutely certain." It happens all the time.
