1 Dubin to try to suggest that maybe her memory wasn't so good
2 because of a medical condition. But she was quite firm in the
3 one thing, she absolutely did not take part in sexual abuse
4 with Jane.
5 Science is science. And Dr. Loftus, Professor Loftus,
6 would say the same thing, no matter who called her to the
7 stand. You can look at her CV. You can't compare it to Dr.
8 Rocchio's, because Dr. Rocchio's is not in evidence. But Dr.
9 Rocchio told you she hasn't done any research. And you don't

15 stories and true memories; but in many cases, if not most, they
16 are contradicted by the actual documents we have from the time

19 as the government did.
20 As you heard, Ghislaine Maxwell is charged with six
21 counts, and you're going to have the opportunity to acquit her
22 of all of those. I'm going to walk you through this.
23 Counts One, Three, and Five are the ones that accuse
