Respectfully
She's 40, not 95!

Its not an age thing, its whether she can remember accurately over that time period.
She's making a serious allegation which should be tested.

^ I wonder what that means? Who are these failed people? What does 'new appointments' mean? Is it referring to those yet to give evidence?

Illustration of problems not having access to the full picture, so we can only guess.

I think the so called "failed people" may be those who have had to drop out from the trial because of illness or other factors in this long running trial.

I think "new appointments" may be their replacements who one can only hope have been waiting in reserve from day one of the trial and are privy to everything which has gone on in the court since then (similar to the system for jury members available to take over in emergency).
One would suppose there would be such a contingency plan in place for any such emergency. A time consuming trial could have been expected since there are five indictments to be considered let alone allowing for all types of emergency.

All just a guess because I don't know.

There can be none who know better than HB just how serious her rape was. She did not think she was going to survive it at the time and she has the permanent and perhaps debilitating scar tissue behind her knees to remind her of being trussed up like a chicken by the assailant for every day since and for every future day of her life.
We know she will never forget anything from start to finish that was forced on her unwilling body on that horrible night . It affected her mentally and physically and she must have suffered reliving it for CB's trial.

The prosecution could ask for a reciprocal test here; she could subject herself to a cognitive memory test and the conversation from that night in exchange for a few sentences uttered and recorded by the accused.

She said she recognised his eyes and has testified to that.
She said she recognised them in 2020.
She had an extreme visceral reaction when she saw them.
How much more 'eye recognition' do you require of HaB the female rape and torture victim?
The eye specialist has testified that it IS possible to recognise eyes and yet you persist, now questioning her 'cognitive' abilities.
There are numerous studies that back this up, one I posted around a week ago. Did you read it?
This covert victim shaming must end imo, it's very ugly.
