Justin Fairfax is not being Franken'd

166. Those aren't valuable.

1. Even assuming she said something the day later (many years ago), it provides no insight into the claim's truth.

2. Its nearly impossible to conclude the story is the same. She made the claim today, and anyone who "remembers" that she discussed it with them years ago, cannot then possibly detach her words from today from their memory of her words back then. If she had never came forward, and you asked these friends about something she said years ago, you'd either get "nothing" or a totally different story. Her coming forward publicly has poisoned the memories of these friends, and they are no longer capable of remembering accurately what was said 35 years ago.

We need to remember that even eye-witness testimony is almost worthless, scientifically. It is the worst form of evidence. And that's testimony which is given within hours or days of the event. The fact that they aren't eye-witnesses in the first place, and the fact that 35 years have passed, means their recollection is 100% worthless, and is completely biased by her present, public statement.
