Summary

This document is a page from a court transcript of a summation delivered by Ms. Moe. She argues that the testimony of the defense's expert on memory, Professor Loftus, is irrelevant to the case, which concerns traumatic memories of sexual abuse. Ms. Moe attempts to discredit Loftus by highlighting her career as a paid witness for criminal defendants and contrasting her academic experiments (e.g., Bugs Bunny at Disneyland) with the serious nature of the alleged crimes.
