Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) filed on August 10, 2022. It features the direct examination of an expert witness named Loftus (likely Elizabeth Loftus), who is testifying about memory contamination, the difference between open-ended and leading questions, and the impact of stress on memory. The witness advises using neutral questions to avoid contaminating a witness's memory and notes that stress is usually relevant to the time of the event itself rather than the interview environment.
