Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript dated January 15, 2025, from case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE. A witness under direct examination by Rocchio discusses the psychological mechanisms of how trust is established in abusive relationships, citing an example where a victim trusted their abuser because the abuser was best friends with an older, respected person in their 'troop'. The Court questions the witness on whether this specific scenario is documented in academic literature, and the witness clarifies that while the general principles of creating an 'aura of trust' are studied, this highly specific example may not be.

Quote #1
