World-famous magician Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller tells Laura Coates why he’s urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reject what he calls “bogus” hypnosis-based testimony in the death penalty case of Charles Flores. He explains how methods like stage hypnosis can distort reminiscence, warning that “someone could be put to death based on the cheesy tricks that I’ve spent my life doing.”
