Summary
This document is a transcript of a legal summation delivered by Ms. Menninger on August 10, 2022. She argues that the accusers' memories may be unreliable by explaining psychological concepts such as autosuggestion and memory contamination. Menninger suggests that factors like discussions with lawyers, media, other accusers, and the prospect of financial recovery from lawsuits or a victims' compensation fund could have distorted their recollections.
