Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript of a summation given by Ms. Menninger on August 10, 2022. She discusses the fallibility of memory, arguing that the accusers' memories could have been influenced by external factors such as talking to lawyers, media, and each other, as well as by the psychological process of autosuggestion. Menninger explains that post-event information and the passage of time can contaminate or distort memories, especially when there is a financial motive like recovering money from lawsuits or a compensation fund.
