Little finicky gotchas like that don't play well with juries, I think

common example is when victims/witnesses describe the wrong color of pants worn by the defendant

It's a little different when in the opening statement it is thrown in the jury's face while this mad woman shrieks at you about how her client carried this same, exact concealer, and how she was going to testify the exact combination of colors to conceal her bruise based on each day of healing. Like, they literally said it was the exact one and that Amber was going to show them each color combination she used, and it was so important that it warranted it being shoved in their face.

It was hardly a minor thing. They claimed it was a massive part of their defense, this very specific concealer kit. And it was offered into evidence as the very same one that she had supposedly been carrying around for the entire duration of their relationship.
