Summary

This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, during the cross-examination of witness A. Farmer. Attorney Ms. Pomerantz raises two points with the judge: a scheduling inquiry about the next witness and a legal objection regarding the current witness. She argues that the witness, a psychologist, is being improperly questioned on topics like 'hindsight bias' which require expert testimony, whereas the witness was designated to testify only as a lay witness.
